Time for Toys




I present to you: The Westminster Chiming Grandfather clock.

It is an monolith of my childhood. Standing at a hefty 2.2 meters, it is a functioning timepiece of imposing stature.

A lot of work went into this one, I'm sure. Coated in high gloss polyurethane white paint, you can even see a Hulk and Buzz Lightyear there (though the latter is a bit after my time...)





The designer Ryan Mc Elhinney, says that there are other variations, with the toys used symbolizing the client's childhood memories.

I just hope you had a happy childhood... or this fun clock could very easily become very, very scary...
