Phot.Graz.Watchtower.01.071504.5566.1.jpg

Austria, Graz, the 28 mtr high “Grazer Uhrturm”, Grazer Watchtower above the city on the “Schlossberg” is one of the city’s landmarks & can been seen from most parts of the city. A large clock-face is located at each of the four sides on the surfaces of the tower with a diameter of more than five meters, installed in 1712 in fresco technique.

A curiosity about this watch which is different from common watches,…the hour hand is longer than the smaller minute hand, which was installed much later.

 

...Danke, Xièxie 谢谢, Thanks, Gracias, Merci, Grazie, Obrigado, Arigatô, Dhanyavad, Chokrane to you & over
