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 🔴🟢🟠🟡🟣

I had a watch that served me very well for a very long time. In fact I’m sure that I must have purchased and installed at least 3 different replacement bands on it, but the last time the band broke……

My first "Apple Watch". (The watch marked 10-15 years at my place of employment) The second image speaks for itself. Timing is crucial in sports and digital is everywhere. So many races, medals, etc. are decided by hundredths of seconds....We definitely seems to be a society built around "time" as a measure of efficiency, identity, productivity and more.I dislike being ruled by a measure of time..


Excellent ✨✨✨✨✨

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.

Here is a time piece that will keep you busy!


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

Three watches from my dad. When dad past away we found them in a drawer. I have no idea where they came from or if there is any history with them.
Rest is me being bored.
I think I'll make a new clock face with different beer and Whiskey bottles so I'll know what to drink when, instead of guessing. I know that alcohol is never the best answer buts it's always my best guess.


Spectacular shots 🍧🍧🍧🍧🍧

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.
