The famous “Binns Clock” on the corner of Princes Street and Hope Street in Edinburgh has been restored. The building used to be occupied by the department store Binns which was taken over by House of Fraser in 1953. The clock was installed in 1960 and was an iconic meeting place. The Frasers store closed in 2018 and the building is currently being converted into the Johnnie Walker Experience. The clock restoration work was carried out by the Cumbria Clock Company who also repaired the musical mechanism which plays traditional Scottish tunes every half an hour as the kilted figures march out of the clock. In keeping with tradition, the Highland figures will emerge to the musical accompaniment every seven and 37 minutes past the hour.

The Prague Astronomical Clock or Prague Orloj is a medieval astronomical clock located in Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic. The Orloj is mounted on the southern wall of Old Town City Hall in the Old Town Square and is a popular tourist attraction.
The Orloj is composed of three main components: the astronomical dial, representing the position of the Sun and Moon in the sky and displaying various astronomical details; "The Walk of the Apostles", a clockwork hourly show of figures of the Apostles and other moving sculptures; and a calendar dial with medallions representing the months.

Stourbridge Town Clock
'It's probably the best-known landmark in the town and was even made here! Built in 1857, the grade two listed town clock had a full restoration in 2007. The column was built at the Stourbridge Ironworks and was designed by engineer William Milward. For many years the clock was painted green but for the renovation, the decision was made to change the colour to dark blue and gold, the colours of the Stourbridge coat of arms.' www.stourbridge.com/stourbridge_town_clock.htm
Now, let me tell you about 11:11...
... and maybe I can even seek your advice.
Over the past few months, I have developed... I don’t know... a curious ‘relationship’ with ‘11:11’, which is beginning to make me think! It has gradually dawned on me that, on many, many occasions, when I randomly check the time, it is... 11:11! To start with, I had put this down to the fact that its repetitious, visual nature drew my attention to it (this was borne out by the fact that the LCD clock in my last car was faulty and, even when it wasn’t actually eleven minutes past eleven, the faulty clock made it look that way and it did attract my attention).
BUT, more recently, I have frequently come to check the time during the day, having not previously seen the face of my watch or a clock, and it has been... 11:11! And it’s happening too regularly to be a coincidence!!!
What could this be? Why could this be? I have ‘Googled’ this and not become any the wiser.... except that, perhaps, in another life, I had some connection with the First World War and Armistice Day!
HELP! Does anyone have a logical explanation? (apart from any obvious comments that might come along to suggest I’m ‘losing it’ or am on drugs!!).
(NB: the ‘07’ on my watch, here, is the day of the month and the ‘23’ is the seconds).
According to Silky Smoove, this is the second largest clock in the world. I went to Wikipedia to verify, and the article said, "In the late 1960s, SILKY SMOOVE ROCKS!!"
This attractive clock stands in the downtown area of Dillwyn, Virginia. I haven't located any historical information about it, but it is located a short distance from the train station, which is partially visible behind the tree in the background.
