An unusual gift idea? An original decor idea? The cinema clapper. The clapperboard is a symbolic object of cinema. It was already used in the silent movies, and its name originates from tap dancers. Even if today the professional claps have become digital, the black wooden clapper remains associated with the cinema and has become a beautiful object of decoration.

The clap announces with its particular noise the start of the shooting. The tap is shown briefly in front of the camera at the start of each recording to identify the shots and to number the scene. These are benchmarks to facilitate the synchronization of sound and image during editing. This nice clapper is an original idea to decorate your dining room or your bedroom. You can put it on a piece of furniture or hang it on the wall. A fantastic idea to give to a movie buff or a teenager who loves science fiction or action movies.

An essential accessory to animate an event on the theme of cinema or to make your own videos. It adds a fun touch to your shots. The clapperboard is in black wood. As with a real shoot, fill in the boxes with chalk with the name of the director, the title of the film, the camera used and the number of the scene. A fun and playful gift on the occasion of a birthday.

May 4 seems to many people to be a day that is completely identical to May 3 or 5, with no special features and no known holidays or anniversaries. Nevertheless, May 4th is the day of the Star Wars holiday and is often the occasion for the introduction of new characters that are added and take their place in the Star Wars saga. This holiday is the source of events that are reinforced by festivals and fan-generated concentrations. Some theme parks such as Disney, which bought the Star Wars licence and Lucasfilms in 2013, and other companies, which do not always have direct links with Star Wars, take the opportunity to communicate, celebrate and reinforce May 4th as Star Wars Day.

History of the cup

Tea was introduced during the Chinese Han Dynasty (206 BC - 220 AD). The more than four centuries of Han Dynasty rule are widely regarded as one of the "golden ages" of Chinese history. 

With the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the pottery industry developed and many types of vessels appeared on the market.

The need for a container to drink tea led to the development of the cup, especially the handleless cup in China. Europe discovered tea in the 17th century with the development of trade relations between East and West, but Europeans preferred to drink their tea very hot. The handle was therefore invented in Europe by the German Johann Friedrich Bottger in 1707.

In France, the ordinances of 1699 and 1709, which restricted the use of precious metals, encouraged the development of ceramics, particularly earthenware and porcelain, which played an increasingly important role in the creation of cabarets (lunch services) for serving exotic drinks. Throughout the 18th century, there were many innovations in decoration, technique and form.

This film statuette trophy is out of this world. Generally speaking, trophies take the form of a cup, an original sculpture, a work of design art or any other object presented as a work of art, which has the appearance of a piece of PVC, marble or wood, most often engraved, but very rarely a gold-plated human representation!  You'll agree that this statuette adds value.

An alarm clock is a device that produces a sound at a pre-determined time set on an appropriate system by the owner of the alarm clock. 

It may be a device designed for this purpose, generally a clock, or other devices with an alarm function, such as a computer, radio, television, watch or mobile phone.

However, these days there are many different types of alarm clock, from the simplest to the most complex and sophisticated.

Personally, I need three alarm clocks to open one eye, especially in winter.

The first electric alarm clock was created by the American Levi Hutchins in 1787. Thanks to this young apprentice watchmaker who, according to legend, had trouble getting up in the morning. He developed an ingenious alarm clock, but did not market or develop it. Antoine Redier, a French watchmaker and inventor, was the first, in 1847, to register a patent for a mechanical alarm clock with adjustable settings…

At the end of the 19th century, alarm clocks became an essential part of the daily lives of millions of workers and employees. In the United States, the Ansonia brand produced round alarm clocks topped with a bell. In France, Japy in Franche-Comté and Bayard in Haute-Normandie began producing competing models. In the early 1930s, Japy enjoyed great success with its "Silencieux" model (rubber dampens the sound), while Bayard marketed the very popular "Sonnfor", "Tapageur" and Mickey Mouse and then Snow White animated alarm clocks.
