Alarmingly, the clock had also become structurally unsound. Thomas says that at some point – possibly during the installation of the magnetically driven gongs (the clock strikes the Chimes Of Westminster), which replaced link the original mechanical striking system – part of the supporting frame had link been cut out, allowing the clock to gradually settle into a tilted link position.

As promised, link I'm wrapping up this roundup with a pick for the Grand Seiko fans link out there in the form of the SBGJ259. Though it might not have the upcycled construction methods link similar to the other models on this list, Grand Seiko is defined largely by its nature-inspired dial designs, so it would be remiss of me not to include one for Earth Day.
