TPY 0 Report post Posted November 2, 2007 (edited) Where is Square 2?? I read in one of the threads that Central at Clarke Quay have but I went and dun have leh... Hi AIR,Sama sama I also have a 18" round clock. . Let me share my experiences of it.Normaly wall clock do have a limitation in size. The bigger the diameter it is, the longer and bigger pointer it required. Thus in - porportion, it needed a motor of bigger toque to drive it.So I would advise you check with the sale what type of motor is used to drive it. Also since it is more expensive, you may want to rope in a longer warranty period for it. Make sure you have it back and white stated if the pointer stop, I can have free service......Just my experience with big wall clock, buy for it and the clock pointer stop moving but I can still hear the motor running.

Ya I saw most shops the biggest clock they have is only about 18in diameter....seldom got bigger than that...i dun mind 18inch as long as the hands are big enough because some clocks have big diameter but the clock interface is very small, the outer rim is only decoration nia....Thanks for the tip!

Will keep that in mind! I got it from Toa Payoh central 10 years ago. Most probably the shop is closed today. Sorry.... After the incident 10 years ago, It is currently still moving.... A pointer maybe is well known, do not use alkaline battery for wall clock. a normal type AA batteries will do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Probably because of the content in the kind of batteries or voltage required to run different kinds of watches?Like e.g, a simple clock interface versus multi-interface (with global timings) kinds of watches? I would assume those with multi-interfaces would need a higher voltage to run, so not all batteries are suitable for a specific kind of watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leen 2 Report post Posted November 2, 2007 Cos I have a quite a wide piece of wall that looks very plain...so if i put a small clock there, it would look very weird and I figured that we can afford to put a big clock there because of the space....furthermore, i like idea of being able to see the time from far without having to strain my eyes....hehe...oic... sidetrack a bit.. when i went to change batt for my watch the other day.. the person also told me that different watchmake have to use diff batt... like swiss watches.. cannot use those normal batt.. when i asked why.. she said it will affect its accuracy... true?? ya, i ever buy a cheap clock for worksite use from those lelong shop. the guy told me those clocks from china, esp those cheap type and it include those alarm clock also, cannot use alkaline batt, must use those cheap batt if not the clock will not work... i ask him why leh, he say he also duno Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
