These Stunning Floor Clocks Are Worth Your While
Time will tell, and floor clocks will always tell it with panache. These clocks come in styles that can belong in any modern home with all your innovative furniture and knickknacks. If anybody says that these clocks are a waste of time, they are dead wrong.
Look Up or Down at these Clocks
To differentiate floor clocks from the traditional grandfather clocks is easy - it has to do with the styling and the absence of mechanical movements and chains. So when you see tall clocks that have a pendulum, quartz movement, and hear the familiar chimes but look disparate from your mom's tall clock because these don't have wooden cases and weights, you're looking at a floor clock.
Not all floor clocks are statuesque. You can find one styled like a round table with sculpted metal legs. You can sit around it with your friends and enjoy the clock's features at a closer range while chatting about politics and business opportunities. So there's no quarrel about these clocks being uninteresting time pieces, right?
As to colors, you'll be astounded to learn that there is a white floor clock, which you will find compatible to most of your existing furniture or your interiors. There are also clocks with cases fashioned with quality wrought-iron and finished to create that aged effect, or designed with iron leaves and rosettes. If you are getting one of these clocks, go for the unusual design to make it your while.
The Clocks To Beat
Floor clocks coming from Howard Miller, Ridgeway, Henstchel, and Bulova are exquisite creations that fuse technology and modern design. There are several standard bearers you can choose from when shopping for a floor clock for your home, business establishment, or for a client, if you're an interior designer.
The seductive curves of the Alison clock from Howard Miller would brighten a gloomy corner in your living room. In white finish to simulate a distressed antique look, this clock has a casing treated with the best hardwoods and polish. A convex glass protects the dial and the big, black Arabic numerals. It also has volume control and night sound shut-off for the Westminster and Ave Maria chimes.
The imposing La Rochelle from Howard Miller in Americana cherry has a removable crown overlay. At the base are raised panels with a cut-out graced with a lovely shell overlay. The Kieninger movement provides an automatic chime switch-off option. This clock has a locking door to prevent tampering. The black Roman numerals on the white clock face are protected by a convex crystal glass.
The Metropolitan from Howard Miller shows crisp, clean, lean lines in black casing that accentuate the white dial face with its black hands and hour markers. The pendulum, in spun nickel, again highlights the length of the black case. The entire effect of the design gives that very contemporary look. This clock has the same convenient night sound shut-off and volume control.
These are just a few samples of the floor clocks you can find online or at the downtown clock shops. You can be sure that all the designs are worth your while. There will one that will comfortably fill up the missing link in your search for the best floor clock. So you say that these clocks aren't worth your while?

Chess: Should the chess clock at tournament be placed at the right or left of the player playing white?
Or it doesn't matter?
At a tournament the rule is that the player with black pieces decides on which side the chess clock goes. It is also the player with black who starts the clock to count down white's time. Usually the player with black will put the clock on the side which he uses most (right handed people, on the right, etc). NOW, if the player with black is there and the player with white does not show up on time, the player with black will start the clock to count down on white's time but no moves will be made as it is white who makes the first move. IF white player is there and the black player is late, the tournament director can start the clock for white, ...then white makes the first move, taps the clock and let time run against the player with black. If he/she is later for over 60 minutes then the player who was present gets a full point in the tournament (BE CAREFUL: these full points are worth "less then a point" when the computer picks the tournament winner: that is because a point won with actual play is more valuable then a point won by absence. So if you win 4 games on play, and one on absence and someone else wins 5 games on play, both will have 5 points but the other guy will be first and you'll be second.
