Cathedral Clock Time Assigned: 2:00 Designed and Hooked by: Cyndy Duade – New London, New Hampshire


Cathedral clocks date back to the 13th and 14th century and can be found in some European cathedrals and on towers in town. Original cathedral clocks were built as an astronomical clock with the sun and moon moving around the earth on a 24 hour analogue dial. The inspiration for this time piece, “Looking Through Time”, is the clock window at the Musee D’Orsay in Paris. The D’Orsay was originally a train station. The challenge with the design was the number of straight lines which go across the grain of the rug backing. The observer and the view were drawn and applied separately after the clock was designed.
