When it's 8:15 AM in New Zealand, it's 3:15 PM the previous day in California. Except in New Zealand's Chatham Islands, an archipelago about 650 kilometers from the mainland. There the local time is 45 minutes ahead of the rest of the country and 19 hours and 45 minutes minutes ahead of California. Confused? Ring Lindsay's doorbell in Christchurch and ask. Lindsay knows the correct time since her ElectraChime Comet Door Chime with three brass bells has a built in clock. Just remember to add 45 minutes if you have an appointment with one of the 600 Chatham Islanders.
Please chime in with your own comment.

Here's Koji posing near Steve's new Coronet with a natural finish in Marblehead, Massachusetts. Bells and dogs go together. Check with Pavlov about that.

One of my favorite items in my project house is the traditional doorbell chime. It sounds great.
It certainly makes me want to climb the stairs to see the rest of the house!

This Coronet with three brass bells looks like it always been in this classic North Carolina Home. The homeowner painted the unfinished cover to match her trim.

In Santa Claus, Indiana! This ElectraChime Empire with three brass bells rings in every holiday while Kris Kringle keeps watch in an adjacent room. That the house is on Candy Cane Lane lends one more sweet note.
Santa Claus has the world's only post office to bear the name of Santa Claus and thus receives thousands of letters to Santa from all over the world each year. A group of volunteers known as Santa's Elves ensures each child receives a reply from Santa Claus; this tradition has been in existence since at least 1914.
