Design: Clock reference

With origins dating back to Black Forest in 17th century Germany, the recognition of the clock is owed much in thanks by "Ührschleppers" (or peddlers). The people would make the clocks during the Winter and the peddlers would take them off for re-sale in the Spring. (Cuckoo Clocks: A History)

I like the classic shape; because it's the most familiar to people.




Although I would choose a varnish that is not so dark, I do like the contrast of the light clock face numbers against the dark housing.
