I love the Acorn Archimedes RISC OS, so when I spotted a clock in the style of the operating system - well, what could I do...

Now it hangs on my office wall looking splendid, although I may sacrifice accurate time for a peaceful non-ticking sound life πŸ™ƒ

Nice! That looks actually very similar to the good old AmigaOS.

@jameswoodcock I made a 3d printed clock for my memories - Space Invaders on the Commodore PET.

@jameswoodcock RISC OS 3.0 or 3.1?
Show threadJames | PixelRefresh.comOct 12, 2023
@mfraz74 Were there any visual differences between the two?
Show threadMark FraserOct 12, 2023
@jameswoodcock I think there were, just can't remember where.
Show threadMark FraserOct 12, 2023
@jameswoodcock Looking into it, 3.1 was released as a bug fix to 3.0 so there are no visual differences.

@mfraz74 ahh good to know, so take your pick then in that case 😁

@jameswoodcock @lisamelton

That’s so very cool! If you don’t want to hear the ticking, I would bet good money that the mechanism or guts of the clock is a generic mechanism that you can buy at almost any craft shop, or Amazon, if that’s your bag.

The trick will be finding one that doesn’t tick, since it is a commodity item

@bubbajet @lisamelton yeah I'll probably just set the time to something static in the end. Lovely piece to have on the wall regardless as of course retro is timeless! πŸ•
