Been thinking of kickstarting a clock that instead of ticking plays a random monster death .wav from Doom every second.

Just buy a smooth seconds Seiko instead of buying a ticking clock like a pleb.

Speleothing posted:How do you get bothered by ticking? The reassuring tick of a clock is one of the nicest sounds. No doubt. My grandparents had a very nice, old rectangular mantle clock they kept in their kitchen. Between its noises and the sound of wood slowly burning and shifting in their woodstove at night you may as well have downed a bottle of sleeping pills. My parents have the clock now and I'm making sure they take care of it.

Mechanical clicking is far more tolerable than something beeping, honking or playing a music alarm.

It's an inferior movement. Like the ones I have after reading another clock thread! Lol!

Entorwellian posted:Mechanical clicking is far more tolerable than something beeping, honking or playing a music alarm. But a musical alarm is deliberately disruptive in order to alert you of a set time. The ticking is always, and without purpose. I don't need constant reassurance that time is still passing. If I want some sort of metronome like noise to set my pace to I will get one of those japanese bamboo fountains that fill up and bonk every few minutes.

My clock just constantly plays music and is actually just a radio, I keep time by counting along beats to the music

The sound of a ticking clock in a silent room is soothing like white noise. I hear that it's more common that people can't read analogue clocks these days, so don't worry op it looks like ticking clocks are becoming a thing of the past.

It is also a stark reminder of the inevitability of death which I have begun to appreciate more and more as time goes on.

I don't even acknowledge time anymore. I live forever in the moment. "Time?" They say. "What's that?" I reply. Like how I'm always simultaneously posting and not posting my horrible takes about this mortal coil.

Pretty sure the cuckoo clock was invented purely to anger people. The Swiss are notorious war profiteers.
