Japanese Clock Identification by Logos/Trademarks

[@munnerlyn3]

How did you find this information again? The internet wayback machine? Not quite sure what you are saying but that is what closed captions shows. I never used this before. Please explain. BTW I am very pleased with this video. One of my group members and I got into a discussion awhile back and I found on the NAWCC where Charlie had this domain but no one could tell me about it. I will be posting this video to my group page. Thanks again for making this video.

Hi Mark! It's called The Internet Archive Wayback Machine. Any search will bring it up. Over many years it crawled the web taking snapshots of all the Internet sites and took "snapshots" of the pages on each site. Once you are there you put in the website URL you are interested in and if it archived that site it will show you the years, and then you can click on the different months, and days you want to look at. It is a great research tool.

So informative; thanks for sharing about Mr. Davis..building off of others' knowledge helps better us all.

[@time4clocks]

You are right about that Trojan4u 😸👍

I am one of those people that have the problem of searching about clocks. It's always a shame to loose history. I guess that is what a real book is meant for. Thanks so much and God Bless

[@time4clocks]

Well, Mike, I think everyone has strengths and weaknesses in the amateur clock world and we can always learn from each other, so I think sharing what we know is important. When people ask me about cuckoo clocks, I tell them to go see you!! 🤣

Hi Ab hope you are doing well, you seem busy organising your workshop 🙈thanks for all that information, didn't realise there was that many Japanese trademarks, Charles Davies worked hard collecting all that information, all the best

[@time4clocks]

Hi Paul! It's a lot of work organizing and truthfully, sometimes it is too much, and I just take a nap instead. Take care of yourself! 🤣🤣

[@RexMcCleary]

Hey Ab, wow don't cover it!! Thanx for the heads up on Charlie! Now I'll have to take a closer look at those logos so I can identify the clocks that ain't the usual suspects. Rex

[@time4clocks]

Thank you Rex. I'd been meaning to do this for a long while now, but time just slips away.... 🤣🤣

[@billsagliano5556]

thanks you. I found the one I was looking for albeit marked unknown. It was in the characters. Plus my monitor maybe made the lower alpha numeric blurry. At any rate thanks for your work. Impressive and full of Love

[@time4clocks]

Glad to help! Thank you!

Thanks for the information! I only have one Japanese clock - the small dog clock from Tezuka "Poppo" brand (I believe you own a larger version of it) and two pre-Seiko wrist watches. It is unfortunate that Charlie's web site is gone but good that you can still access archives of it. Charlie also wrote a nice article that is in the NAWCC Bulletin No. 383: December 2009 (available on the NAWCC web site as a pdf file to download). The article shows most of the logos and information that were on his web site. I would add the direct link to the article but every time try to add a link, KZbin deletes my posts.

Much appreciated John! Good info!! 🌷

Hello Ab, I'm looking forward to seeing another new video from you. I'm always amazed at where you get all of this valuable and interesting information from. I wish you all the best, enjoy your work and stay healthy. Kind regards Werner !

[@time4clocks]

Thank you, Werner! I haven't checked to see if you have a new video lately as I have been very busy. Love to hear your Austrian music!! Hope you are in good health! 😸👍

[@wernerkratzer8330]

Hello Ab, how are you, haven't heard from you for a while. I hope you are well and healthy. Kind regards, Werner.

@@wernerkratzer8330 Hello Werner! I did a Live video yesterday and made 2 shorts today. Better make sure they are not blocking me in Austria! 🤣🤣🤣Doing fine here, enjoying each day. Thank you for thinking of me! 🌷

[@joatmonuk]

Fascinating...

[@fabienlamour3644]

Is this a live organ background or old recording.... I like this sound. The professor is back!👏👏👏

[@time4clocks]

It was an older recording Fabien. It was made went I was taking care of father and I could hear him snoring in the background. I will have to repair the organ soon so I can play again. 🌷

[@fabienlamour3644]

@@time4clocks Good. Each thing at his time. (His or her, i don't know🤣🤣)

[@MK-ge2mh]

Glad to see how many Japanese clocks were kosher! I keep my dairy and meat clocks separate and store my Passover clocks in the basement. 😉

[@time4clocks]

Well, one can't be too careful these days! I see heavenly blessings descending on you already for your hyper vigilance in kashrut. 🤣🙏
