Mantle Clock Vault

Most of the people who play golf are business executives. That is why it is important that promotional golf items have a sophisticated and elegant look. One of the major concerns in making a promotional item is the item itself. You have to define the purpose of the gift you are giving. Is it going to be for decoration? Are you giving away something that the golfer will use whilst playing? Or is it going to be something that you want him to use either at home or in the office?

If you have defined the purpose that the gift will serve, it will be easier to pick a design. For decorative promotional products, you can choose something that is easy to display. Not too small to be overlooked but not too big either to be overpowering. Pick a design that is simple yet eye-catching. You can probably use a golf ball as an inspiration. You can create a bigger size golf ball with your logo on it and use a golf club designed stand. It will definitely remind your client of golf and since you have your logo on it, he will remember you as well.

If the item that you intend to give is something that the golfer will use while he is playing, then you can pick something visible. You can either use hats, sun visors and even golf towels. You are not only giving away an item this way but you are also advertising your name that is why it is important that you use high quality materials. Pick designs that are simple and elegant. Keep in mind that most of your recipients hold senior positions and they can gauge sophistication by the item’s design. So if you don’t want your items to go to waste, keep quality and design in mind.

If it is something that you want the golfer to use in the office or at home, then you can give away simple yet very useful products. For office purposes, you can give away a golf ball designed paper weight. You can also give away planners with your logo, elegant pens with your name printed on it or briefcases with your name embossed on one of its corners. If it is something that you want for home use, you can use give-away coffee mugs, wall clocks, umbrellas or other items that might be useful. Just remember to keep your designs elegant.

Yes they do. If you have an old clock that chimes, gongs, or cuckoos; you will soon get used to it and sleep through the night.

Good luck with your clocks.

i’m looking for price, date, info etc. as i am selling it on ebay. thanks, Phil.

Hi, – Metamec were never expensive clocks, and served the mass market. Trade cost prices used to be roughly £5 to £15 at most, and they sold (retail) for slightly less than twice those cost prices.

I’ve never heard that any Metamecs have become "collectible" so can’t see yours making a lot of money, – sorry.( But I could be wrong..)

My instinct would be to put a reserve of about £3…

Which race do you like the most?

Kokiri – Fairy Children of Kokiri Woods.
Sheikah – Shadow people sworn to protect the Hylian Royal Family.
Gorons – Mountain folk of Death Mountain.
Fairies – Friendly magical creatures who have healing powers.
Gerudo – Desert dwellers. Most are female.
Zoras – Fish people of Lake Hylia and Zora’s Domain.
Hylians – Humans of Hyrule.
Deku Scrubs – Wooden creatures who are both enemies and salesmen.
Oocca – Bird Creatures of The City in the Sky.
Ikana – Skeletons of Ikana Castle.
Clock Town Villagers – The interesting townsfolk of Clock Town.

Ok, Not sure if I missed any, but if I did you can write those as your favorite.

My favorite are the Sheikah. Zoras come in at a close second though.

And I do realize that some are from Termina and some are from Twilight princess.

Crap, how could I forget those? They definitely come in second behind the Sjeikas.

I agree with answerer formerly known as link. You forgot the Twili

But if I had to choose out of the ones above, I would chose Zoras, Hylians and Kokiris.

I choose Zoras because they are just cool creatures, and so beautiful.
I choose Hylians because Link is a hylian, and who doesnt like Link?
I choose Kokiris because Link originally thought he was a Kokiri, plus, I love Saria, and she was a Kokiri

Could there be any scientific reason for that or is it some kind of spirit..
the batteries were actually changed in one and the other clock was new….

Change the batteries.

He is now 72 and i am going to have to ask him to retire, but he is so proud he just wants to go on working. The problem is i need the house for the new people. I mean come next week i will have two Polish maids working for me that cost even less than he does so i need him out of his cottage. I thought perhaps a nice little carriage clock or maybe some gift vouchers, thoughts please?

He’s a butler, generally speaking, spank his butt.

It was working fine but now will only tick for a few seconds at a time. What to do?

look on the internet for either local antique shops, or clock shops, or clock repair. You will probably have to take it in to one of these places. If it is real old it might be dirty inside and needs cleaning to make it work smoothly.
I have a grandfather clock that is 122 years old. In the past it needed a clock repair person at least 4 times that I know of.
Good luck. Oh, and don’t fool around with it yourself, you might do more harm than good.

For my boyfriend’s and my one year anniversary I got the idea of making a clock. I’ve seen backwards running clocks like this available online. http://www.thebackwardsclock.com/

I want to create my own clock face for it in Photoshop and get it printed at a professional printer. I’ll spray paint the frame silver. It will have a stylized photo of us in the background (faded), roman numerals for time, and the following quote at the bottom in a fancy script:

"Love is the emblem of eternity; it confounds all notion of time: effaces all memory of a beginning, all fear of an end."
-Madame de Stael

I’ll wrap it in a nice box with silver paper and blue (his favorite color) ribbon, and pack it with blue tulle. I also plan on including a letter, but that will be separate.

What do you think? Is this a good idea or is it too cheesy? Any additional ideas or suggestions?
I should add, the clock still tells time because the numbers are reversed. So it’s not useless or anything.
Hopefully he’ll like it. When he graduated Marine Corps Officer Candidate School I got him something that he didn’t "get".

We had gone out to eat at a chinese place with his grandparents right before he left and all of our fortunes were about courage (fitting since he was leaving for OCS in two days). I saved the fortunes and had them framed with the Eagle, Globe, and Anchor in the background. He was like, "It’s cool, but why’d you type it on those tiny pieces of paper?"

His mom liked it, though.

I think this is really original and not something a lot of people would think of. I think he’ll love it. Kudos on being super creative. If he doesn’t appreciate it, then he’s an idiot.
Awesome idea. =]

Designer Maarten Baas presents REAL TIME in Milan. Among other designs for clocks, there will be a grandfather clock with a built-in screen. This screen shows a 12-hour loop, of someone drawing the hands of a clock in real time.
