Is it just me or is this clock ludicrous??????????

[ailsagirl]

[hlthe2b]

1. yeah... ridiculously out of scale

Then again, could they not find ANYTHING better than a wall clock to be the focal piece above the fireplace?

[ailsagirl]

18. You'd have to stand back four feet to even read it!

[coolcat_riley]

38. a little smaller

I think it will be a nice looking clock if the size is maybe half smaller than the above picture.

[ADX]

2. I don't know if it's just you or not...

...but I certainly wouldn't describe it as "ludicrous", even though I'd like it better if the "time" lettering wasn't there...

[ailsagirl]

19. I think "ludicrous" is a perfect word for it

"foolish, unreasonable, or out of place as to be amusing; ridiculous."

[matt819]

3. Yep. Ludicrous.

The size, and the Time logo.

On the plus side, it probably cost a fortune.

[dixiegrrrrl]

15. Imagine how much it will cost to replace the battery......

[Midnightwalk]

4. Yeah

Who uses roman numerals any more? Or did you mean the “time” in the middle. No kidding a clock tells time.

[DonaldsRump]

6. Trump, probably, since Arabic numerals are bad n/t

[jberryhill]

5. How to tell when you've made the Big Time

[OhZone]

7. Too big, too analog, too roman, and not surreal enough! ha

Why not this?

[img][/img]

[ailsagirl]

21. Oh, I like that

[tblue37]

28. Dali. nt

[ailsagirl]

40. Yes!

[TexasBushwhacker]

8. I think the "Time" substitutes for "Timex"

Just like you can get knock off Rolexes called "Rolix" or "Rodex".

[lillypaddle]

9. Some of them are upside down?

[skypilot]

10. In addition to the problems already mentioned...

...it makes the room look more sterile than it would otherwise.

[TreasonousBastard]

11. Yeah, but that's the point...

It's a campy artwork, with the "TIME" logo pointing out how silly it is.

No one notices the extremely uncomfortable seating (good only for passing out on) or the ridiculous reflection of the room and video of a fire in the fireplace?

[ailsagirl]

42. Now that you mention it-- the furniture is rather odd, too

[PoliticAverse]

12. Could be worse, it could have a second hand. n/t

[Ron Obvious]

13. IV is not the traditional 4 for a roman numeral clock; IIII is.

Check out any roman numeral clock you might have lying around: I bet you 4 is actually IIII. I bet you never noticed before

[delisen]

14. I would set hands to 3:14 & call it Pi Time to Up the Tack

[Rabrrrrrr]

16. I really like it! But I have a fascination with clocks and watches and timepieces

of all sorts. Though if I had it my house, I'd take out the "TIME" - that's kinda stupid.

What do you find ludicrous about it?

[ailsagirl]

20. I was looking for a nice, attractive, simple wall clock-- this is not that

In fact, I never did find anything I liked when I googled "wall clocks"-- everything was so outlandish.

I don't mind unusual, mind you, but it would be nice to have variety-- not just this type of "clock."

Also women's shoes have become outlandish, as have comforters and reading lamps. It's weird. IMO.

[Rabrrrrrr]

37. It is definitely not simple or small!

There is a lot of oddness in current designs. I will agree on that. Not the type of ugly artlessness of the 80s and early 90s, but we've left the sensible and elegant design era of the late 90s and 00s, and returned to a lot of design options that are going to date themselves very quickly and age very badly.

[ailsagirl]

39. You said it, Rabrrrrrr!

[brush]

17. Yep, big time.

[Lefta Dissenter]

26. Hehe,

I see what you did there...

[brush]

27. Couldn't resist.

[ailsagirl]

43. Hah!!

[Donkees]

22. ...

[Fla Dem]

23. OMG people, it's a freaking work of art!

[KY_EnviroGuy]

24. Obviously stolen from a train station!

..........

[GregW]

25. Notice it's set for 10:08

The standard time for Seiko ads is 10:08:42 - with no second hand looks like this one just opts for 10:08.

[Ilsa]

32. Does any ad ever make it 1:50? nt

[JDC]

29. Well, not sure about you guys, I needed it to tell me that is was TIME.

wouldn't want to confuse it with the giant COMPASS in the kitchen

[Harker]

30. It reminds me of a duffel bag

a pal of mine had maybe 30 years ago. It had "duffel" printed all over it.

I dislike things with superfluous labeling.

[Harker]

35. Time for Chicago.

https://m.

[democratisphere]

31. Perfect for an obsessed clock watcher.

[struggle4progress]

33. It might have been ok if they'd stopped after just the hands

[customerserviceguy]

34. As my eyesight fades

it could come in handy! Right now, I have to squint at the clock on the electric range to figure out what time it is in the kitchen/dining room.

[ailsagirl]

46. I know what you mean

[Totally Tunsie]

36. This is a great clock for resale value.

[mnhtnbb]

41. Try artfulhome.com for

unique wall clocks that could also be considered art for your walls. Or Wayfair for zillions of wall clock options.

I have a wall clock I got on artful home about 10 years ago. Still love it. Had to replace the mechanism in it recently, but it only cost $35. Hope it lasts another 10 years. Only change 1 AA battery about once/year.

[ailsagirl]

44. That sounds like a lovely clock-- one of these days I hope to find something like that

[krispos42]

45. It's more appropriate to a train station

I like clocks, but damn, that's overkill.
