Gabriela in Romania sent me a postcrossing card. She didn't know anything about me collecting clocks this year but by chance she included a clock on one of her stamps.
I have decided to collect postcards and mail art of CLOCKS during 2015. They can be clocks in any form - I bet there is a clock postcard in your collection of cards to send. So any will be gratefully received and will be posted on this blog. If you haven't corresponded with me before please feel free to e-mail scriptorsenex at gmail dot com to ask for my address. All cards and mail art received will generate a card from me to you so if we are not regular correspondents please put your address on the card. Thank You! John Edwards

No 16 - The Peacock Clock
This is from my friend Irina in St Petersburg. This is large automaton featuring three life-sized mechanical birds.
It was manufactured by the British entrepreneur James Cox in the 2nd half of the 18th century and through the influence of Grigory Potemkin it was acquired by Catherine the Great in 1781. Today it is a prominent exhibit in the collections of the Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg.

No 13 - A tiny clock
Heleen from The Netherlands sent me this wonderful view of The Hague whoch has a tiny clock on iot. The clock is on the tower of the Ridderzaal.
The Ridderzaal (Hall of Knights) is the main building of the 13th century Binnenhof in The Hague, Netherlands. It is used for the state opening of Parliament on Prinsjesdag, when the Dutch monarch drives to Parliament in the Golden Carriage and delivers the speech from the throne. It is also used for official royal receptions, and interparliamentary conferences.
One of the stamps Heleen used was this New Year's Eve one from 2013/14 and, of course, it has a clock. In fact, its clock is larger than the one on the card.
