Those are the 1x6x2 tall arches from the Star Wars Podracer bucket. Tan
tiles allow the bottom one to be inverted without too much difficulty.
There is one plate between them, so the height is just a bit too tall. I
put a black wall behind the watches, so it doesn't show too much. We'll
probably put a dab of double-faced tape behind the watches to hold them in
place, although they stay in there pretty good just the way they are.
I tried to find a more 'dignified' looking LEGO watch, but most of the dark
colored ones just didn't do it for me. The blue ones are easy to read, and
certainly 'look LEGO'!
Now, we just need to remember to check the clock tower whenever someone asks
what time it is... <grin>

Yep - that is NOT built out of LEGO... ;-) Cael was helping Conan build!
