1 - b/d/c (in order of preference)

2) a/e/b/c

3) b (this is a NECESSITY - not an added feature)/c

4) d/b/a

5) c/a/b

6) depends on the clock

7) depends on the clock

8) depends on the clock (my personal prefence would be for a free-standing "grandfather" pendulum clock. but I don't have the room for it - nor can I afford one)

9) depends on the clock.

It just occurred to me ... all clocks have at least two hands (except the digital ones) so why a second hand? :-P ;)

My favorite unusual clocks are the ones with the numbers arranged counter-clockwise and the clock also running counter-clockwise. I just love those. After awhile, I'll finally hear someone say, "oh, that's what's bugging me about that clock ... the four is where the seven should be ...

1. What theme would you like as a clock?

Don't really understand the question

2. Where would you use a clock?

Anywhere I want one. In this house, currently that is all rooms except the bathroom and there is one in an outbuilding.

3. What added components would you like?

Depends on what I want the clock for                                       . I do have a digital thing which gives date and room temp near where where I am sitting now.

4. What would you use a clock for?
                                       
d - mostly to tell the time but see 3.

5. Which type of clock do you prefer?
a. Analogue
b. digital
c. pendulum

As something to read from a glance, very much a. but again see 3. I dont get your c. maybe you mean on a mechanism for an electronic unit which may be analogue, a pendulum is added for effect?

6. What size of clock would you prefer?
a. small
b. medium
c. large

Readable from where I want to look at it and in keeping with the surroundings.

7. What style of clock do you prefer?
a. modern
b. traditional
c. unusual

Most likely b. but again see 3 and comments on 5.

8. Where would you prefer to put a clock?
a. on a wall
b. on a desk
c. on a table
d. by your bed

See 3.

9. What price range are you willing to pay for a clock?
a. £2.50-£4.00
b. £4.00-£5.50
c. £5.50-£7.00
d. £7.00+

I don't know your high end of d but depending on what was on offer, I might well consider £7 a bargain.

You could buy a second-hand clock with a third hand which was the second hand.

Actually clocks up until about 1660 did only have one hand, an hour hand, from which they could work out the minutes well enough.

Fancy a clock, kat, if I ever do get round getting some movements and making any? A simple one I'd thought I might give a go is finding a nice floor tile and drilling it.

I see you answerd pendulum btw. I wasn't being akward with my answer. You can get things like this so it should be quite easy to have a digital clock with a pendulum as well as an analogue one.
