I picked up this starburst clock for $28 in an antique store up in Canada. It's really quite something.. And it keeps good time and looks good with my dinette. Makes you feel like the sun is out every morning.
Thinking of clocks.., I was talking to a co-worker a few years ago. He said he had a job printing circuit boards. The place he did this was in the top of an old industrial building and very depressing. I took a tour of that place one time. All of these guys were standing at printing tables in a make shift room with a very low ceiling. It was really depressing in there. He said they had to stand at those tables and print the same solder mask over and over all day long day after day and it was just like being in prison. There was a school like clock on the wall and it seemed to be going so very slow.
Well I can't really put a good spin on that story other than to say they needed a clock like this one to make them feel a little better.
I have another clock story.. One time in 7th grade a girl in my class waited until our elderly teacher who kept nodding out toward the end of the day, left the room then she got up on a cabinet and set the clock forward a half hour or so. He returned and didn't notice. Then when the next bell rang she or someone said Mr, Oldguy it's 3:30! and he came to life, looked up at the clock, lined us all up and we left for the day.. Nobody said anything.
He figured it out after we all left and we had to make up the time and more but it was really funny.

That clock is pretty cool and fits the style of your place perfectly, especially with your new dinette. I love your sun analogy, that's an awesome way to consider that.
I don't know what I ever did without it. And really glad we went back for it.
