Lounge surprise
As I was wandering around the airline lounge waiting for a flight, I looked up a was surprised to see this line of AP wall clocks. I don’t know if there is a standard for airline lounges in different airports, but I didn’t expect to see APs. I realize tha...
It was the Delta Sky Club lounge in Atlanta.
Seemed kind of a random placement on a large corridor wall…so not really openly visible while in the sitting area. That’s why I found them by chance.
I bet....
AP paid the airport for the promotional opportunity. Servicing is likely gratis ........
I remember Singapore airport also or used to have.
But I have not seem any other bigger than this, not in airport though. Posted this before. The real “ceramic” bezel and gargantuan floral tapisserie dial.🤣 ...
Depends on the sponsoring arrangement…
Glashütte Original features in some German lounges and I remember Chopard from Astana Airport…
Absolutely 👍🏻
The wall clocks generally have little to do wi try the manufactures and are I guess used solely for that purpose 🤷🏻♂️
Saw that one few years ago in a nice hotel in Mykonos
And no, I didn’t put it in my suitcase ...
Much more impressive than the basic clocks I saw.
But besides the time, are all those subdials functional? The moonphase seems painted/printed in that same position.
Its an incredibly impressive clock.
It has a screen on the back to set the date and time down to the second and it automatically does it all for you. 30-40k US if you were wondering.
I do see APs at many airports.
Even saw an AP perpetual calendar at a Singapore airline HKG lounge. They are nice!
I've seen these all over.
Incl Atlantic Aviation, Signature Flight, and Million Air, aswell as some AAdmirals Clubs and Watch stores
Always fun to come across these clocks
I have seen a few over the years, but don't travel too much (and am usually not in lounges).
