Designs in Stainless Clock
This clock by Designs in Stainless was displayed at the 2008 Chelsea Flower show
The clock is manufactured in stainless steel with brass fittings, and the clock hands are driven by a water wheel and cog system.
It is priced at a scary £18,500 but given its size and quality this is probably reasonable.

Asteroid/Comet Dinosaur Extinction Confirmed
An international panel of experts has strongly endorsed evidence that a space impact was behind the mass extinction event that killed off the dinosaurs.
Their review of the evidence confirms the view (see timeStory - Chapter 6) that the extinction was caused by a massive asteroid or comet smashing into Earth at Chicxulub on Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula.
