Campagnolo 50th aniversary wood clock. What is the story behind this one?

[R3awak3n]

Just got this ugly thing :eek:

It is going in the shop, does anyone know the history behind it? Old Potato maybe?

Its pretty ugly but awesome at the same time, I love the weirdly placed campagnolo chainring bolts.. Not sure if it works, have to find a battery for it.

I kinda like it

[ultraman6970]

Ultra dig this aswell... wonder how long would take me to make one of this Hmm... maybe copper?? easier to work... hhmmm

[R3awak3n]

haha so do I but it is technically "ugly" but it will go well in the shop, really hopping it works.


@ultra: I guess now a days it would be easy to make something like this with a CNC or laser. This one is rosewood.

Dremel has tips for carving... Well one day :D

I don't think it's ugly, especially if you're a cyclist.

Not as nice as one of these (I love FLW stuff) but still perfectly OK

If it doesn't work you can probably just but a replacement motor.

Very cool. As a clock, not worth much, but the sandblasted wood finish with the logo and the bolts are too cool. How did you acquire such a cool piece?

I got it on Etsy, my wife uses the site a lot and showed it to me. She told me it was really ugly and she doesn't want it in the house but I should buy it for the "shop" and that was good enough for me :banana:

[ultraman6970]

$????

I noticed one at etsy a few minutes ago googling this clock, but no price.

[R3awak3n]

50 something bucks if I remember correctly


I found out they gave these to dealers and that there are multiple versions. Could not find a picture of another exactly like mine. Looks pretty rare

Saweet. Now see if she'll find you a 50th group set to go with it...you need it to go with the clock!

UGLY, YGBSM...

50 BUCKS?? I'll give you $100 right now..PM me.

[soulspinner]

I like it but then again my handle on another board is Campyhag:rolleyes:

[R3awak3n]

Just because I think its a bit ugly does not mean I like it, I would have not bought it if I didnt like it.

Sorry oldp its not for sale but I am glad to know I got a good deal on it.

[malcolm]

Not sure about ugly. I think it's just plain cool.

[zmudshark]

You are about 10% there(really NFS)...Another gem of mine. NFS unless you have $1000+

[R3awak3n]

Mine..

Very cool, thanks for taking a picture. The other one I saw online looked exactly like yours. Mine has a different pattern in the wood behind the clock, its like little mountains.

How did you get yours? when you had your shop?

I think the 'unevenness' of your clocks background reflects the differential of hardness in the various areas and brought to the fore when it was media blasted to make it.

Guy that now owns CrossVegas had 2-3, sold it to me. Also a NOS Campag repair stand. The gold plated nut cracker was a gift.
