These long-timers helped define Rolls-Royce, helped build its image as one of the worldвЂ™s finest cars. So the origin of clock hands is for anyone to interpret as desired. If someone manufactured a clock that had hand-like pointers then it would look very strange indeed.

I have yet to see any clock, watch etc that tells the time with pointers that resemble hands. Both cars are driven on a regular basis and the maroon car has completed вЂњWholly GhostвЂќ rallies on several continents, logging ten thousand miles and more every year. The time pointers always appear as fingers. My second day with the Grey Ghost I drove two hours south to San DiegoвЂ™s Mission Bay for the Rolls-Royce Owners Club national meet, where I spent the morning in two 100-year-old Henry Royce masterpieces, a Silver Ghost straight-sided Barker open tourer and a Mayfair sedan with partition, both built in the 1920s in Rolls-RoyceвЂ™s short-lived U.S. But put the hammer down, and Ghost becomes, truly, a bank robberвЂ™s car. On the highway, one thinks of a missile cruiser christened HMS Ghost, assuredly plying the open seas.

Press the вЂњLOWвЂќ button on the shift lever and calibration for engine, transmission and suspension. Every time I settled behind the chunky steering wheel, I reached to the cliff-like leading edge of the upper dash to run fingers over the threads. And to remind just how special the car is, the flawless hand assembly work-not a single stitch of Tailored Purple thread flubbed, crooked or loose anywhere in the car-is a perfect color-match for the leather and clock hands. (The other Ghost I sampled had my favorite Rolls interior color, Hotspur Red.) Even the dash clockвЂ™s hands were rendered in Tailored Purple one assumes the clock painter builds ships in a bottle as a relaxing hobby. My Grey GhostвЂ™s black leather dash, door panels and seats were accented in a kinky shade, вЂњTailored Purple,вЂќ which would be ridiculous on a KIA or Camry, but in the gentlemanвЂ™s study of the Ghost, flourishes of Tailored Purple work beautifully. Then a seamstress hand stitches, the hide spread across a table-sized platform. We stock a large selection of clock hands in various sizes and designs.

The diameter of the hole in the hour hand (and slotted hole in the minute hand) is 5 mm to fit a standard American I-Shaft design. Choose Black or Brass Finished Clock Hands. Every time you settle in and see that, it reminds of the quality, the rarity.Armed with a diamond-tip tool, the cutter stretches the hides over a broad surface with vacuum pinholes sucking the leather flat to ensure not a wrinkle or crease develops. Each set of clock hands contains an hour hand and a minute hand. Note the quality of stitchwork, and exact color match. My test car had black leather with вЂњTailored.

Craftsmanship is a key differentiator in a Rolls.
