A view of Paris thru the clock in the museum Musee d Orsay. I was fortunate that the girl decided to walk in front of the clock while taking the picture.
Sakae is located in the heart of Nagoya and as such is one of Nagoya's main commercial districts. Inside Hisaya-odori Park is the 180-meter Nagoya TV Tower, built in 1954, which is often mentioned as a symbol of Nagoya. (Source - Wikipedia).

Clock on University Hall on the campus of Friends University in Wichita Kansas. Built in 1886-1888 for the new Garfield University. After years of financial difficulty, James M. Davis of St. Louis purchased the building in 1898 as a gift to the Kansas Society of Friends under the condition that the city of Wichita would donate land for a university. The structure is named for him. It is the largest of the public buildings designed by Proudfoot and Bird.
National Register #71000328. Added in 1971.

We're gonna rock around the clock tonight
We're gonna rock, rock, rock, 'til broad daylight
We're gonna rock, gonna rock, around the clock tonight

The clock in Grand Central Terminal (Station) New York, USA.
The Main Concourse is the center of Grand Central. The space is cavernous – 275 ft (84 m) long, 120 ft (37 m) wide and 125 ft (38 m) high[12] – and usually filled with bustling crowds. The ticket booths are located in the Concourse, although many now stand unused or repurposed since the introduction of ticket vending machines. The large American flag was hung in Grand Central Terminal a few days after the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center. The main information booth is in the center of the concourse. This is a perennial meeting place, and the four-faced clock on top of the information booth is perhaps the most recognizable icon of Grand Central. Each of the four clock faces is made from opal, and both Sotheby's and Christie's have estimated the value to be between $10 million and $20 million. Within the marble and brass pagoda lies a "secret" door that conceals a spiral staircase leading to the lower level information booth.
Built in 1882, the Dock Clock Tower and Tide Gauge House in Cape Town has been an icon on the docks for more than a century. This much loved National Monument was used as the Port Captain's centre of operations until 1904, when his offices moved across the cut to the Pierhead.
Beneath the Clock Tower is a well-like shaft, which is linked to the sea by a tide gauge mechanism. This indicates the exact state of the tide to vessels entering the docks. The second floor of the building houses the mirror room. Lined wall to wall with mirrors, this room allowed the Port Captain a 360 degree view of all the activities in the docks.
The restoration of the Clock Tower took place in 1997/8 under the skilful leadership of architect Gabriel Fagan. The original clock that was made by Ritchie & Son of Edinburgh remains in use today thanks to the restoration.
In fact, since all photographs of the old building were in black and white, the only way to find the original red coloured paint was to peel the white paint off by hand in order to find out what was underneath. - Source V&A Waterfront, Cape Town. - *BEST VIEWED LARGE*
