Barber Shop Clock

My winter project!

It started out as a tag sale find. The case was in pieces, and the dial was trashed.
I had to glue the whole case back together, surprisingly, it had a nice looking "antiqued" finish.
Then I rebuilt the movement, reversed the great wheel, click, spring, escape wheel, and verge.

So now is runs backwards,
it goes Tock - Tick

Did some computer graphics, from original Kramer clocks,
then had a proper paper dial custom printed for it.

A real eye catcher, makes you stop and think about what time it is.

These were originally made by the Waterbury Clock Co., and retailed by Kramer, to barber shops.
It would be hung on the wall behind the barber, so it could be viewed, correctly, in the mirror.

This is NOT an original Kramer, it's a school clock I modified to run reversed.
