Wall Bar Clock
Why would a clock run backwards?
On Sunday the 20th of this month, the power went out at a bar that a friend of mind was working at. When the power came back on, he noticed the analog clock on the wall was running backwards. I don't know how that is possible, as most clocks are run on a motor that turns in one direction and doesn't spontaneously reverse direction for any reason...at least, no reason that I know of.
Has anyone seen this happen before? Or does anyone know why something like this might happen? The clock was, like I said, analog, which is to say it was a 360 degree dial and not a digital clock, and it was plugged into the wall, rather than battery-powered.
It's dead

Karlsson Clocks; What makes you Tick?
If time belonged to a zodiac star sign, my odds would be on Gemini. Why? It's dual-natured. Not just by day and night or hours and minutes but by good and evil...a common chameleon. The concept of time, like the qualities of a Gemini, can be kind and generous; when we're desperate for 5 o'clock to come around every weekday or when the holiday we've had booked since January finally arrives in July. But similarly, the speed of time can be deceitful; when we look in the mirror and are reminded that our youth is fading...when we're no longer in our early twenties sipping cocktails in trendy bars, rather our late thirties entertaining the kids and hosting Saturday coffee mornings. Eurgh!
The point is... time is out of our hands; an element of life that will quickly tick away regardless of whether we want it to or not. Our diaries are packed full of time deadlines, meeting/appointment times and so on, and as much as many of us would prefer to live life by our own adaptable time machine, the truth is we can't.
So on that note, let's talk clocks! Yes they have their main (not-so-desirable) practical purpose (they remind us that we have just wasted yet another hour of our life ageing rather than living) but on a brighter note, clocks have an inspirational purpose too. Designers such as Karlsson have created contemporary and quirky time-tellers, each and every one with an edge and uniqueness that makes them more of a modern feature than a simple necessity. A single clock can bring life and character to your room; take the Karlsson family time photo frame clock, with twelve small frames to hold your personal memories, your clock can tell a memorable story, as well as the time.
Or perhaps your room needs a little colour and excitement? The Karlsson multi coloured spider wall clock, with its trendy and futuristic vibe can give the dullest of rooms that little lift it needs! Then there's the Karlsson Timezone contemporary wall clock for all you aspiring travellers or for those who have relatives in different time zones (perfect gift idea by the way). All in all, the range of clocks available is huge; whether it is a kitchen, bedroom or living room clock you're looking for you are sure to find something special with Karlsson.
So what makes you Tick? Take a look today and make sure time stays on your side!
