Well, sort of. There is something about the outdated look of the 911 dashboard that fascinates me. In particular, I think the clock is a wonderful step back in time with it's analog display and clunky adjustment feature. Since I needed a legible clock on my desk, I decided to use the real thing (and yes, my computer has a clock, and the watch on my wrist does work...).

After finding a nice clean example on Ebay, I spent a few hours this weekend fashioning it into a functional desk clock. A little bit of solder work, some woodwork, a few connectors, and a 12v transformer from a defunct IKEA lamp brough it to life. I love it!





I originally posted this in the 993 forum (Thread) , but have received numerous requests to make more. So I thought our 964 neighbors would be interested as well.

And its a spare part .

That is correct. I do not alter the functionality of the original clock in any way. I've seen auctions on Ebay over the years where the seller has gutted a clock like this and inserted a standard battery-powered quartz movement.

That's great! Planning on selling them? How much for?

I think i had seen something like that on ebay a while back where the person had converted it the same way! Do you have a picture of it?

I think there are a few on Ebay at the moment.

As for the price, I will know more once I get a quote or two back from some of the woodworking companies I contacted. Used clocks are attainable in quantity, but not cheap. I predict that the clock will need to be priced well over $100 in order for me to cover my costs.

I saw a shop selling those, but they had all the warning lamps illuminated as well. Very cool. I was looking for on to do my self but they tend to go high on ebay...

Oh, and how do you set the time?

AOW162435

The time is advanced by simply bridging two of the connectors.

Nice clock. Is that a Supra key I see in the backround?

Where's Waldo??? I cannot see anything resembling any kind of key in the two shots.

A Supra key is used by realtors to access lock boxes that are placed on houses that are for sale on MLS.

This is a Supra key......I have one. I'm a real estate appraiser.
