It was a year ago today, on March 8, 2016, that FlipClockFans.com actually created the word horopalettology (see article here)
I'm not kidding. I felt we needed a separate word other than "horology" (the study of clocks) to describe the "The study, collection and repair of flip clocks." So ... I made one up.
On that day, google searches turned up NOTHING for our new word.
With help from other members, we set about to promote the word. Many of my images and videos were tagged with the word, and a member got it on the Urban dictionary.
So, check it out now - horopalettology.
Am I posting this to say how awesome we are. No ... it's just interesting. and curious. And curiously interesting.
