Expo 67 Clock from Main and Local
What time is it? Expo-o'clock!
From Main and Local, check out this hand-crafted work of art, meant to "[take] you back in time to the glory days of Montreal."
Laser cut, eco-friendly bamboo is sanded and oiled for a slick, polished finish, while the mirrored acrylic lining pays hommage to the original translucent covering of Buckminster Fuller's 1967 dome.
Available here in 2 colors. And for once, the battery is included...

Hello, Jason!
Have you heard about any expo67 reunions in the 50th anniversary year?
I'm interested.
In August of 1967, my friend and I drove from Vancouver to Montreal in a 55 Ford. We were 18 and 19. We just had to see expo '67'. The old Ford burned more oil than gas. Barely made it across that bridge that had a minimum speed of about 60 mph. We arrived with about $70 between us and bought multi-day passes. It was enough to see the best exhibits. We slept in the car in the expo parking lot(giraffe section)I think they charged us $1 a night. I can't remember the cost of the passes $12 or $15 I believe. We picked tobacco in Tillsonberg on the way back because we were broke. It was the glory days of our youth. We were so fearless back then.
