Now take the clock away for repair, but I thing taking the clock tower is a bit of killer. Or was it that bad?
The Wells Cathedral clock is an astronomical clock in the north transept of Wells Cathedral, England. The clock is one of the group of famous 14th to 16th century astronomical clocks to be found in the West of England.
Built around 1392 and has been in almost continuous use ever since. It is the second-oldest surviving clock in England (the oldest is at Salisbury Cathedral).
In the 1600s the original horizontal swinging beam mechanism called a foliot balance was replaced by a pendulum and anchor escapement to improve timekeeping. The clock also drove a display of automata figures which can still be seen at Wells every 15 minutes.
A dandelion clock where just one of the seeds is in focus.
The name Dandelion is given to species of the genus Taraxacum where the 'flowers' are morphologically a composite flower head consisting of many tiny flowers called florets. The flower matures into a globe of fine filaments that are usually distributed by wind, carrying away the seed-containing achenes. This globe (receptacle) is called the "clock".
The dandelion is native to Europe and Asia, and has spread to many other places.Taraxacum species reproduce asexually by means of apomixis and seed production commonly occurs without pollination.

"The future has been shrinking by one year per year for my entire life. I think it is time for us to start a long-term project that gets people thinking past the mental barrier of an ever-shortening future. I would like to propose a large (think Stonehenge) mechanical clock, powered by seasonal temperature changes. It ticks once a year, bongs once a century, and the cuckoo comes out every millennium."
-Daniel Hillis

This clock by Atomix fascinates me because of it's mechanism (radio connects to atom clock in colorado) but the mixture of the classic design with the modern logos seems to speak of two different times.
