Description
This unique clock is handmade from an original 1976 vinyl record; Queen: A Night At The Opera
Uniquely designed, I cut out the middle 10.5cm (4.3 inches) of the record, leaving the label and an outer ring of the vinyl, which becomes the clock face. I then die cut the record sleeve into a presentation box (10.8cm x 10.8cm x 3.3cm), maximising the iconic imagery of the sleeve (original 1976 embossed one for Queen perfectionists)
The clock can be hung on a wall when taken out of the box, or can be displayed in the box on any flat surface.
MOST OF THE VINYL HAS BEEN CUT OFF. THIS IS NO LONGER THE FULL 12" RECORD. Please see the penultimate picture to get an idea of the size, compared to the vinyl record that it was made from.
It has no obvious flaws, but is made from a 45 year old record.
• Quality quartz mechanism - German UTS.
• Bespoke metal hands (gold).
• Comes in a bespoke plastic box (see final picture)
• Takes a single AA battery (not supplied due to postal restrictions)
• Discreet size (no longer a full size album)
