I had this old mantle clock base for 20 years. I collected over 600 lids from water jugs. I love old wooden bowls and clocks. I always liked the son " Time in A Bottle ".

So I wanted to give a " Reverse Effect " of how one thinks about life, thus the clock runs backwards. No wasted efforts and to leave them laughing when you pass forward. Father Time sits upon the foot under the radar of time. The fan blade reminds one of perhaps how we breeze through life.
