| For those of you out there who are given a pleasant glow at the thought of neatly-aligned clockwork. |

In other words: A VERY MERRY UN-BIRTHDAY TO YOU, PYTH. <3
You remember how cruel cold fate contrived for the clock shop to be closed whilst you were over here?
I WENT IN AND TOOK PICTURES FOR YOU INSTEAD! :D :D :D
SAD CLOCK :(
Here's the one with the glass panels in the side. I tried to take a photo but OH GOD THE BLURRY. D: (...more of them are blurry than I thought. Damn the museum setting on the camera not having an auto-steady function! Damn it to death and darkness!)
Alethiometers Pocket watches! 8D
OH OH OH THE CLOCK WITH THE ESCAPE WHEEL ON THE OUTSIDE OMG OMG.
A timepiece this hawt awesome bears repetition. *nods*
Better resolution. ...Somehow.
THEIR BLURRINESS, LET THEM SHOW YOU IT >_<
Decorative lady-clock! OH AND THE GOLD CARRIAGE CLOCK IS TRANSPARENT OMG I WANT THAT CLOCK SO BAD.
Also, ladies and gentlethings, I present to you...
THE INNER SANCTUM. (See the movement in a clamp on the shelf? SO MUCH LOVE.)
You can't read them, but rest assured that every single one of those drawers has a label on it reading something along the lines of "tool x, for balancing part y" or "interesting clock-related whatsit z".
Barometers don't work in remotely the same way as clocks, but horologists have them anyway. Strange, ne?
I'm sorely tempted to make this my desktop background. >_>
We were talking as I took photos, and I think it was about this point that he did (I am not making this up) the "mmheh" straight out of "I've been working on it for seven years... mmheh". By amazing coincidence, this was also the point at which I practically dropped the camera.
I'd have taken pictures of him too, in all his watchmakerly glory, but I figured it'd be kind of rude. You know, as this is beaming out over the Internet.
God, this is so blurry. >_> Sorry.
"Just a little something out of a French clock," says he. "I haven't started working on it yet."
MOVEMENT. IS. PRETTY. Also, he has a lot of pens. xD
...
OH GOOD GRAVY I HAVE THAT SAME MIDDLE RED PEN O_______o
...This has nothing to do with the clock shop, but. xD. |
