İzmir Clock Tower (Turkish: İzmir Saat Kulesi) is a historic clock tower located at the Konak Square in Konak district of İzmir, Turkey. The clock tower was designed by the Levantine French architect Raymond Charles Père and built in 1901 to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Abdülhamid II's (reigned 1876–1909) accession to the throne.
The clock itself was a gift of German Emperor Wilhelm II (reigned 1888–1918). It is decorated in an elaborate Ottoman architecture. The tower, at a height of 25 m features four fountains, which are placed around the base in a circular pattern, and the columns are inspired by North African themes.
The clock tower was depicted on the reverse of the Turkish 500 lira banknotes of 1983-1989.

The Queen of Time, 1931.
By Gilbert Bayes (1872-1953).
Grade ll listed.
The Queen looks superficially like Athena, holding a little figure of Nike (Victory) in her right hand and a sprig of laurel (also a symbol of victory) in her left. But unlike Athena she wears no armour, and Nike stands on an orb, a regal attribute. She is also winged and stands on the prow of a ship. Her supporters are mermaids holding phases of the moon controlling the tides. The clock supports an Elizabethan ship, recalling the early days of exploration.

This flip clock makes a subtle flipping sound.
Unlike the regular analog and digital clock, the action of flipping makes us realize how quickly time is passing by. The mind works in such a way that when the change is more visible and physical, it sends a higher priority signal of attention to the consciousness.
In our household, there is no 'tick tock tick tock', it's simply 'flip flip flip'.

My parents' grandfather clock. Movement made in Germany, case built in Hong Kong, c. 1987. This was purchased in 1988 off a relative who had ordered this clock but received the wrong finish.
