    Every year on the last Saturday night in March, the clocks in the UK are adjusted from GMT to British Summer Time. This rather dark and shaky video is my effort at recording my contribution to this yearly excercise.

    I envy UK, your country have many antique clocks and still can obtained not too expensive in flea market. Here in Indonesia, if I want to import my favorite antique clock I must pay shipping cost from UK, Netherlands, US, etc and sometimes there is import charge. That's a huge sum of money I must spend when I see beautiful clock on ebay or other online shop.

    The chimes on the British Anvil clock are a one-off with a wooden chime barrel, with no known name, sorry. The case is in great need of some stain and polish, and I might get round to it someday...
    The organ clock as you refer to it, is my own construction using spare cuckoo bellows attached to a Haller dual chime movement with threads. Set to Westminster it sounds hopeless!

    3:37 This napoleon clock has always interested me ever since I started following you. From what I've seen the chime barrel is actually redone by you. Did you redesign it to play the same melody as the original chime barrel or did you make a new one completely on your own? If it's the latter, I applaud you for making a great sounding tune. It gets stuck in my head occasionally! :)
    I believe you said something about this clock still being in your repair queue in a previous video. Is that still the case? It's be great to hear it once again in a better quality! c:

    It's Chinese, the trade mark is "555", and I bought it on ebay locally in the UK. I have no idea how much it cost, I think it was around 20GBP. The calendar display is in Chinese. They aren't particularly common, do turn up occasionally on ebay. About four to five years ago they were on sale in the USA with the days in English, so I think they were still being made fairly recently.
