Bruce MacDonaldSince we're highlighting Canadian companies we like, I recommend an outfit I've used in the past to order clock movements and watch bands. Don't know what the future holds vis-à-vis cross-border commerce, but I've always had good service from Perrin.Take a look if you need tools or parts having to do with horology.

I found Gorton embossed on a (not that old) plastic measuring cup in my kitchen.Then I looked at Chernobyl photos—sure enough, Gorton digits galore! (And who-knows-what Cyrillic lettering.)So I was inspired to make a Gorton web clock with soviet-era reactor control styling (I’ll reply with how to read it):<a href="https://adamsimmersive.com/apps/third-party-apple-watch-faces/quartzic/?style=gridlabels&showdate=0&oncolornum=7&offcolornum=11&onfor00=false&altspans=false&digitaloffset=true&topast=false" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://adamsimmersive.com/apps/third-party-apple-watch-faces/quartzic/?style=gridlabels&showdate=0&oncolornum=7&offcolornum=11&onfor00=false&altspans=false&digitaloffset=true&topast=false</a><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/typography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#typography</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/clocks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#clocks</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/horology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#horology</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/gorton" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gorton</a>
