  LE CHATEAU D' OLERO
 It first served as a monastery, looming high
above France's Bay of Biscay. The early
monks who lived there were pious, prayerful
?? and also distilled some of the best
brandies in the Bordeaux region. In its
second life, the site was transformed into a
rambling estate for the Olero family, and
brandy gave way to fine wines, with a
tasting room located high in the domed apse
that topped the basilica. Though you can't
accompany today's villagers as they
occaionally stumble across remnants of cork
and cask, you can raise a toast with this
Moment in Time clock that celebrates the
spirit of grand architecture.
Beautifully produced with fade-resistant
inks, the antique dial is carefully mounted on
a laser cut, 1/4" thick, panel base and
features antique black hands.
