I love the red fingernails, the font on the lettering, the detail on the hands, and especially the fact that either its painted as if looking at someone who is holding up their hands for . . .

We had a lot of interest this past week due to some really, really generous reviews on Neatorama, Metafilter, Laughing Squid, and many others, and I’m in your debt. If you’re new to the site, I hope you enjoy it enough to . . . Merry Belated Christmas/Happy Hanukkah/Holidays/Etc.! I was grappling with two enormous backpacks on my way out of the city on Tuesday when I noticed this great cast-iron (?) clock on the Schwarzenbach Building at 470 Park Avenue South btw. 31st & 32nd Street.
