Looking like its own closed solar system, this clock celebrates the heady days of the race to space when even the experts didn't know if man could survive space travel. Of course, we know better now, but isn't it wonderful that we don't have to surrender our time keeping practices to the high technology world that gave us digital clocks and tang? Remember far simpler times when we hadn't yet set foot on the moon, cigarettes were supposed to be good for you and everyone had a martini in hand when it quitting time came around.Canto Clock - Contemporary Clocks
