Wooden Clock
iPad / Utilitaires
There are literally hundreds of iPad "clock" apps ... so why make another?
Wooden Clock is an homage to a time before clocks were digital and silent - before they became an expected set of numbers on every electronic device in a home or office - a time when things moved at a different, slower pace.
The ticking of an old wooden clock is sadly something that many kids and adults have never had the opportunity to appreciate. This app humbly hopes to recreate some of the joy of old wooden clocks for those people and of course to serve as fun nostalgic app for those of us who remember them fondly.

Quoi de neuf dans la dernière version ?
Wooden Clock returns to the App Store ... with a new Japan Clock!
I had to update the app to get it back on the app store (and deal w/some strange Apple Developer account renewal issues) so I took the update opportunity to add a new clock - so the app now has a 7th skin .. the "Japan" clock!
Tezuka Clock Company (also known as "Poppo" clocks). I found the "moving eyes" mechanic as well as the background story of the company fascinating and very charming so I had to attempt to base the new clock on their clocks. For the record I never found a horizontal/mantel version of their clock - they're all vertical/wall-hanging clocks - so I had to make my own version (my apologies if my version breaks any engineering or cultural rules). Anyhow - I hope everyone likes the new clock!
Side/technical note - I had to get this shipped a bit faster than normal so if there are any issues please leave a comment on the app homepage (link in the About section of the app).
