In 1987 some waterfront was developed in Brisbane for restaurants, and small offices. Part of the development included a reasonable sized lookout tower (now bolted shut) and an unusual water clock.
I remember seeing this operating in the early 90s on a visit, and it was impressive. I can't remember exactly how it worked, but those two vertical tubes are marked with times, and I think water was pumped to the top, and at the hour, a BIG bucket thing came out on rails along the red cantilevered ramp, and then the bucket was overturned and it all came splashing down inot the pond at the bottom, to start again.
Depending on the wind, and how close you wanted to see the action, it was touch and go whether you ended up being involved in a wet T-shirt competition or not.
If only I had a photo, or if only I could find it.
Well, sadly the complex was not a roarinf success, and that might be partly because of its position with respect to road access. I am not sure, but today, some of the building is still used, but much of it seems lifeless, and the water clock is looking rather sad, with broken clock faces, all shuttered up and fenced off, and pidgeons roosting in the top.
There is another wider shot below from the other side of Breakfast Creek which is just off the main Brisbane River. The "Italian" gondolas that ferry romance around the river leave from here.

This was my grandmothers clock and as far back as I can remember it never worked, When she passed my father got it. As far back as I can remember when he had it it never worked! When I moved out I dug it out of the back of the closet and took it to a clock maker. He totally rebuilt it. That was 30 yrs ago! Still keeps perfect time! Chimes on the hour and half hour. Eight day movement.
The Ansonia Clock Company of New York was one of the major 19th century American clock manufacturers. It produced millions of clocks in the period between 1850, its year of incorporation, and 1929, the year the company went into receivership. In 1914 it produced 440 different clocks!
The clock in Downtown Forest City, NC was restored in 2014 by Gene Volk, a clock repairman from the National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors, of Hendersonville, NC.
If only... time could freeze,
at the wish of your heart.
So that, you could cherish the breeze,
of happiness that just took its start.
If only... time could go back,
at the thought of your brain.
So that, you could probably go and smack,
all the wrong-doings that bring you pain.
If only... time could show what lay ahead,
at the death of your soul.
So that, you could peacefully lie dead,
realising this was the best end for your stroll.
This clock was damaged when the A-bomb was exploded over Nagasaki at 11.02 local time on 9th August 1945.
The bomb used 6.4kg of Plutonium and had an explosive power equivalent to 21 thousand tons of TNT. Between 40,000 and 80,000 people were killed.
The Clock Tower in the centre of Brighton has been draped in clothes by one of Finland’s leading artists, Kaarina Kaikkonen, as part of this year’s Brighton Festival. You can just see the clock faces peering out beneath dozens of shirts! The Brighton Festival runs until 26th May and you can find out more here brightonfestival.org/ For more information on the artist and her work at the festival, go to www.mutualart.com/OpenExternalArticle/Artist-s-Statement-...
This building was at the northeast corner of 2nd and Union. It was replaced with a parking garage.
A neon Bulova Watches clock hangs over the storefront of M. Tipp & Sons at 1410 2nd Avenue.
Morris Tipp was a Russion immigrant and although they were about the same age apparently he was not related to Seattle jeweler Ben Tipp, who was born in Illinois. The "Sons" were Stanley and Marvin, who were in their early 20s.
This photo was taken to record the new look after Tipp remodeled the space in late 1941.
In 1941 advertising Tipp implied that he had 20 years of jewelry experience in Seattle, but he didn't even appear in the city directory until 1928. In 1930 and 1931 no place of employment was listed (he was a clerk in 31). In 1932 he was manager of the 2nd Avenue Loan Company, and in 1935 was manager for the Mutual Loan Association. In 1939 he started his jewelry store.
Next to TIpp & Sons is the Hollywood Shop (Hat Bar) at 1408 2nd Ave, and Bruno at 1406 2nd Ave.

We've been looking for a living room wall clock for a while to count down the girls for school in the morning.
We really liked George Nelsons Ball Clock but it was too big so I designed my own clock and built it with the machinists extraordinaires Grischa and Philipp from the machine shop.
The body is Aluminium with a CNC-machined compartment for the quartz movement.
The beams are stainess steel and the balls are brass.

This clock in the entrance to Cardiff Market has seen better times. It must have looked good when the neon lighting was working.
Take 2 of this clock featured on the former Kaufman Department store (now Macy's). The first take of this was a few years back in sepia. Really wanting to get out and do some shooting again, getting the bi monthly itch to do so!
Restoring this clock for a Porthmadog man to find a signature made by the last known repairer, it reads:
Repaired by
Ellis Lewis Guard Festiniog Railway,
38 Chapel Street Portmadoc
October 1947.
Interestingly the railway closed down in 1946, but I think that this gentleman was proud of the fact that he had worked on the Festiniog Railway!
Love it when i find this type of thing on a clock.
The clock is assembled in a semi-enclosure made from old cassette tape cases. (Thanks to Denis for this idea.) Yes, it's a bit messy.
