Default The Riviera Blue 993 ConRodFanClock :)

I completed a special 993 desk clock for Mike (Arena993) last night. We’ve had numerous discussions over the past few months regarding the design and one-off nature of this piece. In the end, Mike asked me to just come up with something different... After kicking around a few ideas, I told Mike that I wanted to incorporate a 993 connecting rod in the design, so he set about sourcing one. Within days, one was located and sent to me by Jeff (slvr993). Thank you!

I'll let the pictures tell the story. I had a great deal of fun with this build and trust that Mike will get many years of enjoyment from this clock!

This is my first view as well. All I can say is WOW!!!!!!!!!!! What else would you expect from AOW? Another fine piece that will be well displayed in my office in Nashville. Can't wait to get it. Thanks for all the effort.

Very Nice and Unique! The angled rod is perfect. It doesn't even need the clock to be appreciated.

I like the black matte finish on the crest. Did you remove the colored plastic inserts? Was that the one I sent you from my car? Nice touch on the base.
