Yep, I cornered the market back then....

The numbering happened when I made two runs of the first wooden clocks. Subsequent, one-off versions have typically been signed and dated.

Nr. 0020 comes fom the first batch, where I shaped each individual ABS plastic back to match the wood housings. I wised up for the next round and had a relief milled into the rear. Then I had a batch of ABS plastic discs cut to fit these openings perfectly.

Always looking for cast-off P parts.

How about, for those 993 geeks that are also watch geeks, a hybrid watch winder / 993 clock?
