No Need to Synch Them / Equation of Time
In Response To: Re: Heuer clock comes to life ()


Darren:

Alistair and David are being too demanding. Even if you synch them, how long can we expect that to last?

Enjoy the clocks . . . they look great, regardless of whether or not they are synched. In fact, synching them would be a mistake -- why would you want two clocks, to show exactly the same time? It's far more interesting to see them showing two different times!!

Here's an idea -- You can tell your friends that this is the very rare "equation of time" pair, with one showing the sundial time and the other the clock time (or the apparent time and the mean time)!!

Congratulations on adding these to your collection!!

Jeff
