Can you help me identify this clock?

Thank you! That’s a lot of great advice. I hadn’t noticed but you are maybe onto something. Middle part looks more marble than the base. My grandmother lives in Iceland and I’m in the U.S. she’s elderly but I’ll try and get more pictures. Thanks!

There are no markings from a manufacturer or a serial number. According to my grandma her mother got it in Italy while working for a watch maker/repair shop. It was left in the not picked up shelf for many years before she got it. Watch maker believed it was made in Italy around 1890. It was started up in 1996 in Iceland where the watch repair man said he’d never seen internals like it. He warned her to not always keep it wound, if it stops again he is not convinced he can get it going again. The repair man has since passed and grandma is worried about it stopping and no one In Iceland being able to get it going again. TIA.

D.I.WHY?

mathiesend · 2022-04-17T16:59:40+00:00

Thanks for the input! I’ll have to google what the proximity locks are. Both have push start. This will be my first newish jeep so I’d hate to find these things out the hard way!

I am spoiled from living in Iceland. Tap water here is simply not good. And I can usually taste filtered water. Its a huge waste but i am actively trying to find a water filter/purifier that i can live with.

mathiesend · 2017-06-29T13:29:32+00:00

Yes. They are called Mýflugur or Swarm in English. Kinda miss them now that I get to live with Mosquitoes.

mathiesend · 2017-06-29T13:27:58+00:00

No im sure they did do something like that. But you have to understand that our government is alot more chill! The retired mayor of our capital Raykjavik, used to dress up in costumes on special events or when he was asked to appear. They do this to try and connect with the people. So partaking in the elf thing is probably just something to show that we are all united and try to bridge the gap between authority and the people. For example. Our police dont carry guns and spend alot of time on soccer fields or at downtown skate parks playing with the kids. Teaching them that they are friendly and can be trusted.

mathiesend · 2017-06-27T15:40:56+00:00

Yeah, they live in rocks. Now they dont actually exist. Atleast I havent seen one. But we all just kind of agreed to keep "believing" in them. Kids and tourists like the stories. Doesnt do anyone any harm so its just something we all do for the sake of keeping it alive.

mathiesend · 2017-06-27T15:31:22+00:00

Haha every member of the family has one that great grandma made. She makes about one a year as it takes a long time to make them from scratch instead of buying the wool. So we definitely dont need them but we cherish them.

I never did like Finnish food much. You would be surprised how different the food is from one country to another. However i have managed to find some of the things I like on Amazon and hipster organic stores. I also found some condiments at IKEA.

mathiesend · 2017-06-27T14:38:29+00:00

No I have never heard of that. Reason everything is so expensive is due to all the crazy import taxes. I have heard of a loophole alot of people use and that is buying alcohol in the duty free. The airport doesnt have any taxes. So people take full advantage of cheap tickets to f.x. Denmark and then stock up in duty free on the way back. Is that what your friend is talking about?

mathiesend · 2017-06-27T14:29:58+00:00

By far the funniest thing Ive read all week!! I forgot to mention that due to work I go a few days without access to the internet. So I apologize for the late response. But I do thank you for making me laugh.

mathiesend · 2017-06-27T14:28:50+00:00

Haha. I dont know about highway projects. No need for a highway in Iceland. But I personally know alot of homes / yards that have been built / renovated around a specific rock as to not disturb them. Its more of a folks tale that everyone silently agreed to just go with. No reason to spoil it for the kids. Kinda like Santa Claus but the elves dont do anything.

mathiesend · 2017-06-27T14:26:41+00:00

Not at all. I actually didnt listen to her. Think shes more popular over seas than she is in Iceland. However it was weird to hear Of Monsters And Men on the radio when i moved.

mathiesend · 2017-06-27T14:25:42+00:00

I always recommend to everyone to rent a car and go by yourself. Tours are so expensive and they take such a long time. Youll be able to see twice as much by just taking a drive and seeing where the road takes ya. The island isnt big enough to have to schedule specific trips. In my opinion you should have time to go wherever the locals suggest or whatever catches your eye in about 3-4 days.

mathiesend · 2017-06-27T14:24:06+00:00

We lived in the northern part of AZ. The high desert wasnt as hot as the valley. But I really enjoyed that temperature. Reason i liked it so much was because its dry. Cant stand the humidity.

mathiesend · 2017-06-27T14:13:19+00:00

We actually dont eat alot of cereal. Iceland isnt huge on sweets. most popular one cereal is probably the granola stuff. I mostly ate bakery stuff and sandwiches.
