Yes, this is not a Drill, Howard Miller Clocks, once the revered keepers of domestic and ceremonial time, have gone into administration, and their iconic timepieces—grandfather, mantel, and wall—are now tragically deemed obsolete. This Scratch project is a solemn tribute, treating their disappearance not as a mere business closure but as a funeral for an entire era of rhythmic elegance. Through fading animations, tolling bells, and a requiem of slowed chimes, we mourn the loss felt deeply by the clock community—horologists, collectors, and timekeepers alike—who now face a quieter, less anchored world. Let this project be our digital vigil, a ritual of remembrance for the tick that once tethered us to tradition.
