MS of Cuckoo clock on wall. Time reads: 8:00. Pendulum ticks rapidly back and forth. Music box with bird, antique. Small egg shaped gilded clock. Looks like old European antique. Cuts to CU of a woman holding a small pendant in the shape of a lyre - or close to that. She opens up the base of it to reveal a tiny clock. Very fine details in the design. Series of other unusual, intricate, fine and antique clocks and small watches. "The World's Most Accurate Public Clock, Designed and Made by Bell Telephone Laboratories"--displayed in a New York City store window, with passers-by looking in and checking their watches. Some onlookers, mostly men in overcoats and fedora hats, check their wristwatches - nice. VS, MS and CUs of clocks on top of tall 1920s skyscrapers.
