I’m not steam punk myself … but it, like “goth” or even “punk” itself is a whole clump of things mashed together. From a philosophy / world view, fashion or design sense, through to role play. You can, I think, be “steam punk” without being all ga-ga over it, just like you can be into Star Trek without dressing in starfleet uniforms and writing poetry in Klingon. 😉

I look at what you like stylistically (much more ornate than my taste for example,) you interest in antiques, and the interest in technology … especially antique tech, and I see “Steam punk” style and taste.

P.S.

As to a permanent fix. May I suggest you get nice bit of stained and varnished wood, then drill four holes for the legs of the clock to sit in. By drilling the leg indentations to different heights you can adjust the level of the clock.

Alternately, you could put screw in feet on the bottom of the wood, and use then to adjust the level.
