No 33 - Postmark on a maxi card

This maxi card from Susanne was one of a few she sent, either for me to keep or to pass on.  This one is a keeper!  I wonder if she saw that it had a stopwatch on it?

32 - Potznan - by chance

Quite by chance Rani, a postcrosser from Poland, sent a clock card (2603)   This is on the Poznan Town Hall.

No 31 - Nearly two o'clock

Sini sent this from a postcrossing meet-up in Lahti.

There was also a special cancellation of the LAPOEX stamp exhibition.

30 - A café in Budapest

From Ania in Hungary came this lovely looking card of a café on the Bude side of the city.  Ania says it has a cozy atmosphere and I think the picture captures that.

No. 29 - An Hour-glass

Here, from Susanne, is another form of 'clock' - an hour-glass, also known as a sandglass, sand timer, sand watch, sand clock, or, most commonly, an egg timer.

The text reads - "There are times when everything is upside-down."

No 28 - Edward Hopper's Barber's Shop

Eva in Morocco sent me this painting by Edward Hopper.   Irrespective of the clock it is a super painting (and has a reading woman as well!)

No 27 - Eindhoven

Despite having other things on her mind, Heleen from The Netherlands sent me this card of Eindhoven train station to add to my clock collection.  Thanks Heleen.

I like this modern clock face - 

No 26 - World Clock, Berlin

Susanne sent me this unusually shaped card of Berlin's TV Tower (365M) and World Clock

The stamp shows Frankfurt Cathedral and there is a tiny clock on it.

No 25 - Groninger Hoogfepunfen

Heleen from the Netherlands sent me this collection of clocks

The third tower also has a sun dial as a bonus!

No 24 - A grand pocket watch

This grand pocket watch came from Sini in Finland.

Sini sent it from a postcrossing meet-up in Jarvenpaa and it was signed by those who attended....

Thanks to all of you.

No 23 - In a Hungarian Market

Ania from Hungary sent me this for the clock collection.  I love it - it reminds me of the humorous (but no longer politically correct)  cards that used to be on sale in seaside towns when I was young.

No 22 - A Cuckoo Clock

Katya and her Mum, Marina, sent  me this super card.

It has two clocks -

and lots of other lovely bits

The illustrator is Alexey Dokotov.

The stamps gave me three more clocks -

Nos 18 - 21 - Pocket Watches

This great collection of pocket watches came from Sini in Finland.

No 17 - Big Ben

Oksana from Belarus sent me this card which combines two of my favourite themes - cats and clocks.  The clock in question is commonly known as Big Ben and is at the north end of the Palace of Westminster in London.  "Big Ben" is actually the nickname for  the clock;'s Great Bell  but  is often extended to refer to the clock and the clock tower.

The tower is officially known as the Elizabeth Tower, renamed as such to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee of Elizabeth II (prior to being renamed in 2012 it was known as simply "Clock Tower"). The tower holds the second largest four-faced chiming clock in the world (Minneapolis City Hall being the first). The tower was completed in 1858 and had its 150th anniversary on 31 May 2009, during which celebratory events took place. The tower has become one of the most prominent symbols of the United Kingdom and is often in the establishing shot of films set in London.
