With twelve real shoes walking to and fro on the clock’s “boardwalk,” and taking over thirteen million steps per year, one finds a definite influence of Dr. Seuss in its creation.
Another extraordinary creation is the Timber Clock, which takes one back to the Renaissance time period. Standing ten feet high and weighing over 700 lbs, it boasts two large rocks as part of its inner workings, which are weighted perfectly to maintain accurate timing. With the inner workings visible to the viewer, this clock is topped with a large tower bell, circa 1800’s, adding to the clock’s flair and individuality.
The Water Clock, at over six feet high, resembles a chemistry tube-within-a-tube and is operated by two fish tanks. The outer tube of the clock features the “hour” of the day, while the inner tube represents the “minutes.” With different colored water in each tube, the time of the day is quite visible from any angle in the room.
The list goes on and on, from the Train Clock, Teeter Totter, Domino Clock and many more.
One would never guess that this unsuspecting, out-of-the-way workshop in Millville, PA, boasts endless possibilities to the human imagination—simply through the ancient concept of time.
