I love the fact that it's from the world famous "Boolean" clockmaker. Is that a Swiss make? I bet it's a major pain to keep fingerprints off the pinkish metal surface.... :o) Nicely done; I love how simple shapes can come together to create complex objects. I'm really impressed with the clock face; very nicely done. I'd guess that the base is a free-form object? (I think Carrara calls it a spline object?) You might increase the surface fidelity on it; I see some angular edges on the left and right sides, where we see the curved shape edge-on. Increasing the surface fidelity should reduce or remove that effect. As for color shifts; I've come to realize that lots of my pics change from computer to computer. The biggest thing I've had to adjust for is the contrast difference between a CRT display and an LCD display. And the differences between LCD's can be staggering, too. My Sony VAIO laptop is really similar to the CRT on my work desktop machine, but the LCD on the Compaq Armada I used to have at my previous job vastly more contrasty than the typical CRT. It's just a matter of getting used to things.
