10.1 - Tick Tock

10.1 - Tick Tock
Countdown is a popular UK TV Gameshow and the countdown clock has become iconic.

Read a book with a clock on the cover

The clock may be digital or analogue but must have the clock face, including numbers and/or hands clearly visible. A wrist or pocket watch will count if the face is shown.

REQUIRED: Post the cover

would this be enough of a clock?

[Cat]

is this sufficiently clear a pocket watch? I can see hands showing the time as 11:20 - at least I think I can!

Thanks!

[Katrisa]

is this enough clock in the background?

[Michelle]

Hi there! Sorry to be particular about the wording of the task, but in the case of the wristwatch, do the numbers and/or hands still need to be visible if it's obviously a wristwatch? Referring to the following title in particular. Thank you. :)

[Trish]

Just double-checking for paranoia's sake. Is this okay?

[Kathy KS]

I also have a few titles on my TBR that have similar situations to the last two posts. Not all clocks/watches show actual numbers anymore.

We do need to see a clock face so that one would not work for this task

So, if I am now clear on this... If it's obviously a clock, but it doesn't show numbers, that will be OK?

This one has numbers (roman numerals) clear.
It must show the numbers, or for an analogue clock if no numbers are visible the hands must be visible

That clarifies it well and now I have some titles to choose from! Thanks.

Yes, I can see that there are numbers/hands on that watch

Just wanted to be sure you can see the clock on the shelf at the lower left side of the cover - is this ok?

Yes I see that clock!

[Karen Michele]

I think this is a stopwatch - does it count?

Stateless

Yes, that works

Unfortunately this looks like a compass to me - there are too many markings round the edge to be a clock.

Thanks - I knew it was something different ;)

[Trish]

I've got another possibility, as well.

The hands are definitely visible, even if the numbers are only marks, which I think works with the rewording of the task?

Yes, that's fine, they are undoubtedly clocks!

[Trish]

Will you accept this for clock on the cover? Looks like she's wearing a watch around her neck

[Marie (UK)]

will you accept this for clock on cover
you can just see clock on Big Ben

I agree that she could well be wearing a pocket watch round her neck, unfortunately the task does state that the numbers and/or hands must be visible and I'm just not seeing those on this cover. As such, this book will not count for this task.

Yes, when zoomed in, I can see hands & the number markings on the clock.

[Kathy KS]

After seeing what "clocks" you've verified, I thought I better check this one from the time travel series.

Yes, I can see clock numbers there which meets the task requirement

Checking if this is acceptable

Yes, I clearly see a clock there!
