American Watch & Clock Museum, Bristol CT

Stay with this a bit, it grows... I'm sorry the video quality isn't better. I have video editing software now, just haven't had time to use it yet. I'll try to improve this later. This is part of our travel blog, my mother and I are on a planned 8 month circumnavigation of the US.

The most boaring place God Created.

Each to his own. Personally, I liked the place a lot - but probably have different taste's then you. btw - one can like metal (metalhead?) and also clocks. Apocalyptica anyone?

I'm afraid I don't know one chime from another, but thought this was too pretty to pass up. Sorry the video quality isn't better (there's a story here...), but mostly I just wanted to capture the beautiful sounds. The Museum sets the clocks a few minutes apart so they don't all chime at the same time. I sent a link to this video to the Museum, I figure they might be interested in your comments.

That clock is a Jewelers clock, and would be kept in stores.

Wow, I was not aware of this place. I will visit.

3:50 That clock is huge. I wonder what kind of house that used to be in.

The ticking alone is enough to drive you into the aluminum siding business :)

Thanks JL, great video!

Thats what I call old times which is a nice feedback to show us what the old days were like.
