I wound this #antique alarm clock and put it in my office next to the adding machines from a similar era. I can't tell whether the mechanical ticking in this otherwise quiet room will end up being endearing, ignorable, or infuriating.
Update: I'm looking forward to this clock winding down. I might replace the movement with a modern, quiet, battery-powered one though if I can do it in a reversible, non-destructive way.
