What a great clock! I wonder how many young people would even know what that is from the back. 🙂 When the girls were growing up, we kept a rotary phone in one room, which would work even if the power was out. One of their friends asked what it was. Sigh. I went with both vowel sounds just for fun.
My neighbour collects rotary phones, and I confess, I’d quite like one. We always had to have an ivory-coloured one when I was growing up, because my mum thought it went better with the decor.
The English language can be a monstrous thing! I’d hate to have to learn it – wind or wind? How can you be expected to tell? I was trying to think of other words with the same format, eg find, mind. Couldn’t come up with one with two pronunciations though.

Isn’t it hideous. I couldn’t think of any other example, though mind and mint occurred to me.
