    I have several very young clock enthusiasts, many have visited our store. It is always nice to see a young one with this interest. Several children over many years have continued to visit the shop and are avid clock collectors today. Now their new families are being immersed with the love of clocks as well. Thank you for the post. We appreciate you watching. Give your son a big hug from all of us here at Champ's.

    Many would consider that a living hell, but to me, it is HEAVEN! (except for the few chiming off key notes). It is like being in London with the clock tower ringing Big Ben whilst nearby such as West Minster Abby setting off simultaniously. It is an absolute orchestra of time and synchronisity! Brilliant!!!!

    Similar to many conversations at our store. When I was a kid, I'd come home from a date and walk through the shop in the dark, I kept waiting for one to lean over and say something. It was like they were alive and trying to stand real still so I wouldn't notice they were there. Its an experience to sleep on the floor listning to all that too. Of course I am Immune.

    0:04 This clock playing the incredibly noisy tune has officially been identified after a long 16 years!!! This is the elusive CITIZEN 「コムニC」, a primitive clock series from the late 1980s of simple wall clocks that contained a special celebratory message in the bottom that could also be switched out for other messages or a custom handwritten message, while playing a very primitive monophonic-beeper tune on the hour. 3 models are known to exist, A B and C respectively. If I recall, a video of the B model is on UA-cam, and it plays “Congratulations” from Cliff Richard. However, the C model popped up for sale recently on a Japanese website, and someone actually bought it. It’s pink, and has a picture of 2 birds and a pink piano, while playing the theme from Love Story. That’s the tune you hear blaring in the background for the first seconds. Unfortunately I don’t think it’s visible in the video, but this model is INCREDIBLY rare and obscure and it’s crazy to know that Champ’s was carrying them at some point [possibly even an overseas version!?!]

    1:02 the clock playing this melody is a rhythm model of some kind. i'm going to guess multiple models have this song, but i found it by complete accident while watching a video of "4MJ808EJ".

    Tons of mechanical, electronic, electronically recorded [chimes], bell, chime rod, tubular bell, and of course musical clocks all going off simultaneously? I’d love this! Some people call this a living hell, and I can totally understand that. But my grandfather was a clockmaker and repairer, so I picked up my love for clocks from him. Oh, and I forgot to mention that WHOLE WALL OF CUCKOO CLOCKS you passed by there at one point. That’s a LOT of cuckoo clocks!

    most real clocks chime from either, every 15 min. , each half hour or, just on the hour. This is why its called a clock. If a clock doesn't chime its a Watch, cause that is what you have to do to tell the time, watch it..
