The Sarajevo Clock Tower is located near the Gazi Husrev Bey Mosque and is one of the largest in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The tower has 76 wooden steps, arranged in a square row, which a muvekit climbs once a week to set the time.
The clock must be adjusted, because it shows the time a la turca (lunar clock). It is believed to be the only one in Europe that shows the time according to the lunar calendar.
This clock shows midnight exactly at the moment of sunset in Sarajevo.

Clock of Müllersches Volksbad (Müller's public bath), München (Munich), Bavaria, Germany.
Müllersches Volksbad is a neo-baroque Art Nouveau building from 1901 that was in its time the biggest and most expensive indoor pool of the world and the first public bath in Munich. Beside swimming in the large pools, you also could take a private bath in one of the many bath tubs.
It's still a special atmoshere there, even today you are swimming in the stylish neo-baroque ambience of the olden days.
May 2006 Scavenger Hunt: "A clock face"
Shortly after moving to our new office, some of my colleagues started demanding a wall clock. I never understood why, because we all work with computers -- which have clocks on the desktop -- and we have fancy Cisco phones which display the time too. Still, this clock went on the wall as an interim measure / form of protest.
We now have a nice wall clock that gets the time from a radio transmitter in Rugby, but Glenn's Clock remains, correct twice a day, telling us it's home time.
the owner of this store got suspicious when i was taking a photo through the window because she couldn't understand why i was talking a photo of the clock. you may agree with her.

Supposedly the wisest of birds, this astute little owl found its perch only recently, though the Seth Thomas clock has been in the family since 1864. The bird's presence in this spot is a good reminder since wisdom takes time to acquire. My great grandfather bought the clock when he was seeing military service at Ft. Vancouver, WA, in that year - a pretty wise purchase for a lad of 19, I think. The statuette was cast in India, so I hope it brings me some of the wisdom of the sub-continent. The clock was in my grandmother's possession during my childhood. Then it went to my parents, and now, just this last week, it has come into my care. It's a treasured item and brings many memories.

"The Clock" - "The clock" can be used on conference calls to help people get and keep a sense of place and participation in a disembodied conf call. It can be used with structured online chats as well. Ask every one to draw a circle on a piece of paper and mark the hours like a clock. Then, each person is assigned a spot on the "clock" as they join the group. So the first person is 1 o'clock, the second 2, etc. If there are more than twelve, start adding 1:30, 2:30 etc. Use this initially to create a speaking sequence for intros, and then use it to ensure everyone speaks. Participants can make notations by names and use it as a visual tool to match names/voices/input. If you are doing multiple rounds of "speaking" vary the "starting position" on the clock.
Note that the template for the lower versions of the clock are available at the bottom of the blog post noted above.
This clock was added to the Jewelers Building during construction in the late 1920s. Notice father time at the top of it.
This clock uses an Arduino to display the incoming DCF77 Radio Code and also display pulse information. It is based on the clock by edr1924 here www.flickr.com/photos/edr1924/albums/72157646579220681
The clock also uses a 2nd Arduino to filter the incoming signal if required

The Fob watch, designed by Seiko, was given as a gift to the people of Melbourne. The watch has a twelve and a half metre, two tonne chain, which was taken down during the centre's refurbishment and has since not been re-attached. Every hour, on the hour, a marionette display drops down from the bottom of the watch with Australian galahs, cockatoos and two minstrels performing Waltzing Matilda, under the watchful gaze of some koalas.

Clock towers were first built in Ottoman territories in the 16th century and would often also function as barometers, windmills, compasses, fire watchtowers or meeting points. After the decleration of the Republic of Turkey, cities were built around clock towers, especially in Anatolia. Only 52 of 144 clock towers built during the Ottoman period still exist today.

Saat kuleleri Osmanlı topraklarında 16. yüzyılda görülmeye başlandı; saatçiliğe meraklı olan II. Abdülhamid’in tahta çıkışının 25. yıl dönümünde (1901) valilere gönderdiği “irade” (ferman) ile vilayet ve sancaklara yayıldı. Halkın görebileceği yüksek bir tepeye, şehrin en kalabalık meydanına ya da kale, cami gibi tarihî yapıların üstüne inşa edilen saat kuleleri, aynı zamanda barometre, rüzgâr gülü, pusula, yangın gözetleme yeri ve buluşma noktası işlevi görürdü. Cumhuriyet’le birlikte özellikle Anadolu’daki kentler, kuleler çevresinde meydan oluşturulacak şekilde kurulmuştur. Osmanlı döneminde yapılan 144 saat kulesinden 52’si günümüze ulaşmıştır.
