Which should I choose as my service anniversary award?; Howard Miller or Frank Lloyd Wright?

I'd go for the globe. I'm not crazy about that particular globe (does it have to be that exact model?), but a good globe is a wonderful thing to have, and like you said, you've been wanting one.



It has to be that particular model. We are given a catalogue with the available awards and there is no option to change.

I just pulled those web sites because they showed the exact clock and globe.

It's fun hearing everyone's druthers.

Clock, if you don't have one. I have a wall clock that I built, and the chime is a nice thing to have, even at night.

The globe, though attractive, is a dust catcher and clutter-maker. Something I don't need (more of) in my house.
+1

I'd go for the clock, too. If you ever need to downsize, you'd be more likely to keep the clock. The globe eats up floor space. The pets might damage the globe by accident. You'll use the clock every day, if you have it in a space you use daily.

I'd still go for the globe. A time piece is something you'll always have somewhere in the house, it's practical. A globe is a fun thing to have; to spin, to dream. Something you are unlikely to buy for yourself.

Thanks Blondie. It's friggin huge too. Seven and a half feet tall, lots of glass.

It sits right by my piano, and I have a built in metronome for any piece that plays at a 60 tempo. :bluewink:
