This Art Nouveau clock is one of the many details in Victor Horta's former home in Brussels. It sits on the mantle of the main fireplace in the dining room, and its curving 'whiplash' lines are designed to match the flowing style seen throughout the house.
Got rid of my old bathroom clock and got this rustically distressed clock. I love the colour, it matches all the accessories I have in the bathroom now. I'm changing the decor in there to more of a rustic country theme. I'm also going to add some cute little wall plaques with that country look. This clock makes absolutely no ticking noise which I love.
The Chamberlain Clock is an Edwardian, cast-iron, clock tower in the Jewellery Quarter of Birmingham, England. It was erected in 1903 to mark Joseph Chamberlain's tour of South Africa between 26 December 1902 and 25 February 1903, after the end of the Second Boer War. The clock was unveiled during Chamberlain's lifetime, in January 1904 by Mary Crowninshield Endicott, Joseph Chamberlain's third wife.
It's been in the family for years and years, it still works and keeps good time.

Fits the criteria for the Smile on Saturday challenge - always easy to tell the time on Rochester High Street with our super-sized clock. And as a bonus there is a row of chimney pots in the background.
Happy Smile on Saturday - think I've "captured the C"

An old circular clock with Roman numerals marked the time in the lobby of The Caledonian Hotel. Late in the afternoon, chandelier crystals reflected onto the clock face, distorting the view but not obscuring it entirely. The subtle tension between precise timekeeping and reflective beauty caught my attention, a sight which I found alluring.
Location: Scotland, Edinburgh
When the folks at Schiphol Airport were thinking of how to entertain people waiting for flights they came up with the great idea of putting this poor guy inside a clock. They tasked him with painting each and every minute on, only then to clean it off before he paints on the next minute. I guess he has a job for life, or at least his animated alter ego does.
For a movie clip of it have a look on my photostream.
The Strasbourg astronomical clock is located in the Cathédrale Notre-Dame of Strasbourg, Alsace, France. It is the third clock on that spot and dates from the time of the first French possession of the city (1681–1870). The first clock had been built in the 14th century, the second in the 16th century, when Strasbourg was a Free imperial city of the Holy Roman Empire.
The current, third clock dates from 1843. Its main features, besides the automata, are a perpetual calendar (including a computus), an orrery (planetary dial), a display of the real position of the Sun and the Moon, and solar and lunar eclipses. The main attraction is the procession of the 18 inch high figures of Christ and the Apostles which occurs every day at half past midday while the life-size cock crows thrice.[1] (Wikipedia)
The good thing is it isn't finished.

Medieval Marketplace
Welcome to the third project of my little medieval town - Medieval Marketplace!
In my marketplace you can see a tall tower with an astronomical clock on one side (a copy of the Old Town Hall Tower) and ordinary clocks on the other.
On the same square, life is in full swing! Here you will see a butcher chopping a piece of meat for the next customer - an old astronomer in a luxurious hat, and a fish merchant. A prosperous merchant with all kinds of trinkets, living in a house near the tower and unloading all sorts of supplies from the cart. A baker just baked another pretzel in his bakery. Well and of course the guards keeping order. :)
The project also includes 10 minifigures:
a jester fireman,
two guards,
a merchant of some supplies,
a fish merchant,
a baker,
a butcher,
two peasants,
a horse
The second floor of the houses and the roofs are easily removed. The whole model is fully playable. The tower is empty inside.
I was inspired to create this project by my trip to Prague last summer. Initially, I planned to create a project only for the Astronomical Clock (Old Town Hall Tower), but having built the tower, I decided to slightly change it and add a market square to it - in the end it’s a fantasy! :)
Also, when building this project, I was inspired by such clock towers as The Zytglogge and Ledbury Clock Tower, and a set of lego castle 10193 medieval marketplace.
I hope you enjoyed

Besides photography, building clocks is my favorite hobby. Sampling of clocks I have recently built. The large cathedral in the background (Duomo de Milan) seems to be floating, but actually it is seated on an elevated stand.
The World Clock on Alexanderplatz in Berlin is for me one of the most beautiful remains of the former GDR. It symbolizes how close the places on the world are. And if you take a long enough exposure, you get a feeling that it’s possible to travel a bit through time and space.
