I attended a Microsoft product launch today (Visual Studio 2010) in the Vue Cinema in Fulham Broadway Shopping Centre. During the lunch break I went for a walk around Fulham and Chelsea and spotted the following clocks:
The large clock in this photo is above the Fulham Register Office, in Harwood Road.
Fulham Register Office Clock
Fulham Broadway - spot the clock!
Clock above Broadway House - displaying the wrong time
Angell Services Ltd - Specialist Bedding Suppliers/Carpets and Flooring, 106 - 108 Wandsworth Bridge Road
Angells Carpets Clock - The wrong time is being displayed
Fulham Broadway Station and shopping Centre - The clock has no hands
Timeless - no hands!
This is St John's Church, Fulham - just around the corner from Fulham Broadway Station.
This photo was taken in Chelsea. The clock here is next to Gutlin Antique Clocks. Unfortunately I didn't have time (no pun intended) to go into the shop but it had some very impressive clocks in the window (Atmos clocks and a ships chronometer) - I'll have to go back when I have more time.
I took this photo of a brass clock in Fulham Broadway tube station on my way home
Brass clock in Fulham Broadway Station: 'The Self Winding Clock Co. New York'
and finally... something that has nothing to do with clocks. I also walked past Chelsea Football Club earlier in the day - www.chelseafc.com

Like the timeless no hands! Wish some moments were like that and others had hands that would spin fast enough to break off and fly - hey! Maybe that's what happened there!
I've seen another clock close to where I work that also does not have hands - maybe it's a new trend ;) Next time I get out of the office at lunch time I'll get a photo of it.
Funny - hate to sound like an "airhead" (don't comment) but is there seriously a way to tell the time on them? Is that really a "thing"? Nevermind - I think I just had that "Oooooh, OK" moment that hits me occasionally. Ha! Anyway - I want to see the other one so get that photo. Start a collection of "timeless" pieces;)
Very interesting pictures of some great clocks. Lots of our antique clocks come from special buildings or from whem British rail sold of the antique clock stock. A shame for them, great for us.
