collecting and displaying clocks  

10 of my clocks
are electric. I just plug 'em in and pay the electric bill. It doesn't add that much at all.

who needs electricity Barelympls?
Who cares, it's 420 time! couldn't resist 🙂

Joel-
Seeing your photo reminds me-- I once asked this to you but never received a reply: how do you hang things on your fabulous wood paneled walls without damaging them? (Just curious)

My house has a lot of white walls
and in lieu of not having much good art to put on the walls, I started collecting the clocks. They're scattered throughout the house, rather than creating a collage. They're all at the same eye level, and to my eyes, they looks swell.
Perhaps when I move, I might create a collage instead...something of a variety.
As I got my clocks, I got the one's that weren't working, fixed. It never occured to me to have any non-running clocks on display.
(Also, I don't have any duplicates, 1 ball block, 1 basket clock, 1 eye clock, 1 steering wheel, etc. If I already have one, I haven't gone after any alternate colors.)

+1 on WHC's question...
how do you hang these without damage? Simple nail? I would like to hang a clock similarly.

If your clocks are not running they should be set to 4:20 🙂
No...if your clocks don't work GET 'EM FIXED...or don't display 'em! Mine all work."
I think you missed the point Barry!!!

Joel's walls
Are finished plywood panels. You can get them at Home Depot, etc.

Woodywood--
so you're implying that they're so readily-replaceable that one throws caution to the wind & uses nails? Seems wasteful.
(I put a lot of holes in my walls before I'm happy with configurations-- but it's a lot more efficient to spackle rather than replace a wall panel.)

Don't feel bad, Barry--
that "4/20" reference always escapes me too, even though I come across it every few months. I take solace in the fact that it's hip to be square.

No, but
I would treat it like any other wall... Who doesn't have a few "extra" holes in their walls??.....

or their heads....

Huh...
the clock addiction mystifies me. It would freak me out to have so many time-ticking devices in my home. Kind of fatalistic to be so obsessively measuring your moments, methinks. Maybe if they were all about the art and not working it wouldn't feel so odd to me. But an non-working time piece is just an oxymoron. Yeah...I don't think I'm getting it.

Think of it as
visual art.
