Clock tower on the top of the Lido, in Peterborough. One of the very fewe remaining buildings of its type in the country.

Horology is the art or science of measuring time. People interested in horology are called horologists. That term is used both by people who deal professionally with timekeeping apparatus (watchmakers, clockmakers), as well as aficionados and scholars of horology. For more info, check the wiki.
I took this for Kaptain Kobold's choice at We're Here, Teach Me Something New. And since gears are just wheels with teeth, it suits the December 6 topic at december 2011 in photos, Wheels! Yay.

This old clock key broke and was soldered back together. (From a time when we fixed things, rather than throw them out and buy a replacement.)
You can't beat a good public clock. The clock tower outside Altrincham Station dates from 1880 and is listed Grade II. The station was opened on 3 April 1881 as Altrincham & Bowdon by the Manchester, South Junction and Altrincham Railway.
This clock, mounted on the outside wall of Wells Cathedral in Somerset, is driven by the same mechanism that connects to an interior astronomical clock in the north transept.
It was first installed between the 14th and 15th centuries and has, quite understandably, been restored a number of times down the centuries.
The clock’s original mechanism was removed in the 19th century to the Science Museum in London.
Despite its age, that original clock movement is still working!

The Prague astronomical clock, or Prague orloj (Czech: Pražský orloj), is a medieval astronomical clock located in Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic. The clock was first installed in 1410, making it the third-oldest astronomical clock in the world and the oldest one still working.
It is mounted on the southern wall of Old Town City Hall in the Old Town Square.
The clock mechanism itself is composed of three main components: the astronomical dial, representing the position of the Sun and Moon in the sky and displaying various astronomical details; "The Walk of the Apostles", a clockwork hourly show of figures of the Apostles and other moving sculptures—notably a figure of Death (represented by a skeleton) striking the time; and a calendar dial with medallions representing the months.
According to local legend, the city will suffer if the clock is neglected and its good operation is placed in jeopardy and a skeleton, mounted on the clock, was supposed to nod his head in confirmation. Based on the legend, the only hope was represented by a boy born in the New Year´s night.

I think the wide angle (and the S90's barrel distortion, which I don't think iPhoto's RAW convertor is dealing with) makes this look a bit weird. Maybe it's just the circular tiling patterns, though.
The clock face has pictures for thunder showers, showers, scattered showers, sun, partially cloudy, cloudy, sleet / hail, and snow.
The temperature scale goes from -40 to +40 *C which is not quite cold enough to show the temperature on the coldest day of the year and a little higher than the warmest day, but I like the symmetry.

This old clock resides at Balmoral School in Calgary. Although wikipedia (unfortunately edited by some that don't look lol) says 1915, the imprint year on the building shows 1913. I can see that this has stood the test of time quite well from that year....such a gorgeous building. I'd love to go inside of it one day.
Going through the archives I came across this one tonight and didn't realize I captured the moon right above the clock...nice capture even if I do say so myself.
