Recently I have seen some interesting numerals on dials of timepieces. Two questions here:
1) Have you seen some extraordinarily nice (custom) numbers on clocks/watches?
2) What other unusual sources of fine custom numbers or alphabets come to your mind (besides those H&FJ Numbers)?
Thanks for your input.

I've been waiting for this thread to motivate me to snap pics of our grandfather clock to post!
What do you make of these? (Apologies for the blurriness of the closeups.)
I love the 9-like 2 and the long hairline bits.
That is a beautiful clock!
2, 3, 6, 7... Spectacular.
love the 2 on that clock :)
That's what I am talking about. This clock would never caused all these Uhhhhs and Ahhhhs if it was set in helvetica.
Here's a pic that my father took of his antique clock.
