Good to see you all! Good to be back with a fresh computer.
I, like many other retirees have discarded my time piece. But it was TIME today to pick veggies from my very small garden. Sorry, I couldn't help myself. Continue on!
Gorgeous yield and very colorful and appealing 🔴🟢🟠🟡🟣

On the road again this week, but want to quickly contribute these public timepieces from a different time, in the medieval city of Edinburg, Germany …
Such stupendous old edifices and clocks, beautifully captured 🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈

Great Start Simon! Like all of them. Thanks for hosting.

I'd be confused before I could even figure out what time it was 😣😣😣😣😣

There was a "time" when every town had a City Hall or bank or building with a clock on it for all to see (and hear). The mill clock marked the sound of shift change, meal time etc.
Awesome architectural shots as well as great shots of timepieces 🍀🔆🍀🔆🍀

I will start the challenge with time pieces, way back thousands of years ago time was told by sundials and different water devices and then we got around to clocks and in 1505 Peter Henlein created the first pocket watch and it wasn't until 1810 that Abraham Louis Breguet created a wristwatch for the Queen of Naples, this caught on with the ladies but it took a fare while before men started wearing them. We seem to have come a long way since then.
Would be very interested to see your timepieces and the story behind them, if any.

This is an interesting challenge on time pieces. Jumping in on the late side and also late at night so adding a couple of posts rather quickly. My wife grew up with the following time piece since it was her grandmother's clock. Bob
1- key to wind on the side. Notice the pineapple design on the door.
