How many clocks do you have at home? Where?

[Dawnlight]

I think our grand total is 12, mostly the "standard" clocks such as alarm clocks, dvr displays, microwave/oven, etc.
We have a Regulator wall clock, an antique kitchen clock and our favorite is the cuckoo clock.

Kitchen: 4 on appliances and one on the wall. Family room: one on cable box and Westminster chiming clock on wall. Living room: anniversary clock. Three bedrooms: clock radio in each. Two baths: one wall clock in each.

Just surveyed our 4 bedroom 3 bath home. Only room without at least 1 clock is the guest bathroom.

Entry way: Grandfather clock made by my FIL about 40 years ago

Kitchen: Microwave and stove

Family Room: 100 year old mantel clock inherited from my mom 2 years ago, and a Regulator clock on the wall that was the only clock in the family room until 2 years ago.

Living room: Real gold trimmed china clock that was a wedding gift from my Aunt 33 years ago.

3 bedrooms: Clock radios

Guest bedroom: Decorator clock on the wall, alarm clock near head of guest bed.

Master and front bathrooms, clocks over the door. Critical for keeping track of time when getting ready for work.

Funny, my VCR, DVD and DVR do NOT have clocks on them.

I guess I could spin the OP's question and ask how many CHIMING clocks in your house? 3 for me, the Grandfather clock and mantel clock......we have the chimes on the regulator clock turned off though. Grandfather clock and Mantel clock are just out of sync on time, so at Noon and Midnight you basically have 24 chimes in a row.

Hmmmm.
We've got a clock in the kitchen and one in the family room. Plus one in each kids bedroom. I had one in my office/craft space but it died and I haven't replaced it yet.
The basement office has one too.
So basically every room we use except for the bathrooms. LOL

Just two clocks in the place, one in the bed room and one in the kitchen. Not a clock but the time on the satellite TV guide is often checked also.

 

[Julie's Haircut]

Got a Kit-Kat in the living room, another clock by the TV. Dining room, bathroom and one in my bedroom. There is another one on the microwave.

Do you mean this?






I have one of these in the basement. Plus a mantle clock over the fireplace, a grandfather clock in the foyer. Kitchen wall clock, plus digital clocks on stove and on microwave. Digital alarm clock in bedroom. Might be one or two small clocks in the curio cabinet. Clocks on all the cell phones/tablets/laptops. If watches are included, about 6 or 7 more.

 

[Minniesgal]

None I don't use them and don't wear a watch.

I use the TV, my phone or laptop for the time.

We don't even set the digital clocks on our oven and microwave and I don't use an alarm clock I get up when I wake up naurally.

 

[ravenclawtrekkie]

The only clock in my house is the digital one on the microwave in the kitchen. Other than that, all 3 of us living here have computers and smartphones that we use for the time and for alarms.

 

[not_minnie]

The one on the cable box and that's it. I never set the one on the microwave, and my old fashioned gas stove doesn't have one. Otherwise, I just use the cellphone or the computer to tell time.

 

[low-key]

I got lots, and they are all synchronized, as of this posting they all say its 12:00, they blink also

 

[MickeySP]

2 in the bedroom, since we have 2 wake up times. 1 in the bathroom so you know how much time til you gotta get out the door.

Yeah, very common now. I spend a lot of time calling those folks when they oversleep and are late for work. And of course, they often have no landline, so the dead cell phone, cell phone in another room, cell phone on vibrate, is no good to wake them up that way either.

IDK what kind of phones the people you know have, but on mine (iPhone 6), having it on silent/vibrate doesn't stop alarms from going off, complete with sound.

Yes one of those Mine is a white girl cat with a necklace instead of a bow-tie. Mine is not one of the expensive vintage ones, it one of the new(er) generation ones.

I googled them a minute to go to see how much they cost nowadays, it surprising how much the price has gone up since I got mine. I thought I paid too much when I spent like $30 something. I love them, but they do feel really really cheap and flimsy. WAY overpriced.

 

[RedAngie]

One high up on the kitchen wall. Digital clocks on the stove and microwave.

Digital alarm clock in bedroom. (although we use our cell phones for wake-up calls).

Gag gift alligator clock on bookcase shelf from tacky Orlando gift shop. Similar to this.

An iPhone with a dead battery does nothing I suspect just like any other phone and won't be heard if in another room. Love how they call cell phones wireless devices when almost everyone at work always has them plugged into power at work or in their cars.

 

[disykat]

I have one decorative clock in the den. It was a wedding gift and I love it even though I never would have chosen it myself.

We have tons of functional clocks. The microwave, the stove, the thermostat, the two computers, and one on the bedside table in every bedroom.

Total - 9

 

[shoney]

Beside the ones on appliances, I have a really big round clock in the living room and a smaller one in the kitchen.
