    Well last week I a friend made a suggestion about a clock and taking it a stage further decided to make an timely addition to the family.

    compliments the sign don't you think. At 14" diameter its not to big either. I think black handles with red second hand will look better, what do you all reckon. Silver or black?

    Wife says I have no excuses now, hope you like it

    Absolutely love it!

    It does need black hands.

    Nice! Is it back-lit? Black hands and red second hand would look great IMHO.

    Can you make it available for the U.S. and Canada - with 120 V and 60 Hz?

    No its not backlit, quartz (ticking) clock needs one AA battery and it will last for over a year.

    Definitely Tony, much nicer.

    How about putting only the 2-4-6 hours on the clock face? Just a twist ;)

    Also, is the Dino logo available by itself?

    Congrats again on a lovely piece of kit...

    Regards, Alberto

    How about green hour hand, red minute hand and white second hand or some other combination of green, red, white? Or would that be too busy looking? Just thinking.
    The clock is beautiful.

    Did you experiment with making the Dino text a bit smaller and positioning it above the hub? My fancy watches seem to do the same thing.

    I cannot take the credit for the idea as Isuk had the brainwave after buying one of my signs, no doubt because he is now spending so much time in the garage polishing those beautiful dino's.

    loads of combinations were tried but they just didn't look correct. This is the best I think

    He tells me he had the idea of trying to match the horn push and centre cap.

    Nice idea on the 246 Alberto, the separate logo was just a bit of fun.

    Yes Tony, 246 might be fun, only problem would be the 206 owners :)

    Would you sell just the Dino script?

    I'm sure I can sort you a logo. Its 520mm long x 150mm high approx.

    There are some more tool additions coming along soon, I can package them up together.

    Not to worry about the 206, there are not so many of those!!

    246 looks a bit lopsided to me. I think I will keep them as original but with black hands a red second hand

    Tony, you are right, it is lopsided. Possibly no numbers?

    I once bought a clock that came with the numbers separate, and I set them in a really random way. My wife said I was being cruel...oops.

    I received my clock from Tony yesterday and once again am amazed at the quality. For anyone who has bought one of his beautiful signs the clock is made using the same process of laser cut and layered perspex to give it a 3D effect. It looks fantastic.

    I tried to take a few photo's that capture the quality and detail. The apparent blemishes on the hands are just a layer of protective plastic film that I hadn't removed.
