There is an eight-hour time difference between where I live and the street on which this clock tower is located.
Il tempo passa e spesso rimangono reidui non spesi come questa foto preparata e dimenticata da quasi un anno,
Carichiamola e diciamo buon tempo a tuttigli amici !
Something completely different... a steampunk rendition of a tuba clock with a vintage mad hatter on the bell.
Diese Uhr steht in meiner Heimatstadt Wiener Neustadt. Wie oft stand ich als Kind dort und wartete auf die beiden Kuckucksfiguren ! Es ist schön zu sehen, dass sie immer noch funktioniert und die Herzen von Kindern und Erwachsenen gleichermaßen erfreut !
This clock is in my home town of Wiener Neustadt. How often I stood there as a child and waited for the two cuckoo figures ! It's nice to see that it still works and delights the hearts of children and adults alike !
This wonderful WW1 memorial clock tower is in Ulverstone Tasmania. The three pillars represent the armed forces - army, navy and airforce - linked together with the chains built over the original WW1 memorial. It looks great during the day, but at night it is quite special.

That's what they say, but when you take a photo of a clock, time stands still and I was having fun! Clock on the kitchen wall in our getaway cabin in E. Tawas, Michigan
I saw the 'banjo' clock and floor lamp out of the corner of my eye and thought 'This is an interesting composition!' As chance would have it, Flickr's interestingness algorithm thought it interesting too! ;-D

Rubik's clock has four turning dials and four up-down pins. The aim is to set all 18 clocks (front and back of puzzle) to point to 12 o'clock.
The corner clocks, unlike the other clocks, rotate on both sides of the puzzle together and cannot be operated independently. Thus the puzzle contains only 14 independent clocks.
Each pin is arranged such that if it is "in" on one side it is "out" on the other side of the puzzle. The state of each pin determines whether the adjacent corner clock is mechanically connected to the three other adjacent clocks on the front side or on the back side.
Since there are 14 independent clocks, with 12 settings each, there are a total of 12^{14}=1,283,918,464,548,864 possible combinations for the clock faces.

A clock I received from my Mom a very long time ago.
I was fascinated with it. The way the clock weight moved smoothly and silently around and back and forth.
It is a wind up version and over time, with moves from one house to another, it stopped working. ...Maybe I wound it a bit too much. I still have the key.
Every now and then, I think...well...I will find a clock maker to fix it. I still think I may.....

The story of Prague's Astronomical Clock (Orloj) is a mix of historical marvel and legendary curse.
The creator, Mikuláš of Kadaň (or Master Hanuš), was blinded by jealous city councilors to prevent him from building another masterpiece.
This lead him to sabotage the clock and curse it, causing anyone who tried to repair it to go mad or die.
The clock itself, working since 1410, is a complex medieval device showing time, astronomical positions, and zodiac signs, featuring moving figures of the Apostles and allegorical statues like Death (the Skeleton), Vanity, and Greed, which come alive hourly.
It was fun to see and hear.
