Improvised clock cosy from my warped mind. More details on my Ravelry project page :p
This is the main dial on the medieval astronomical clock on the south side of Prague's Old Town Hall. It was installed in 1410 and is the oldest working clock of this kind.
The background represents the Earth and the local view of the sky. Within the blue circle directly at the centre is our planet, Earth.
Golden Roman numerals at the outer edge of blue circle are the timescale of a normal 24-hour day and indicate time in local Prague time, or Central European Time.
The smaller circular dial is movable and has the 12 signs of the zodiac. The golden sun on one of the hands shows the location of the Sun relative to the Earth's orbit around it. In this photo, it is on the symbol ♌︎ (for Leo); this image was captured on August 1st). The darker globe on another hand shows the phases of the Moon.
The four figures flanking this clock dial represent four things to avoid/fear. From left they are Vanity, Greed, Death, and Lust.

The three-faced clock in the middle of Milngavie was an original feature of Copland & Lye department store on 165 Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow. The Clock was gifted to Milngavie when the town centre was pedestrianised. The initials of the department store "C & L" can be seen at the top of the clock.
On the morning of December 6th, 1917, the most violent man-made explosion before the atomic bomb rocked Halifax harbour, in Nova Scotia, Canada, when a Norwegian vessel collided with a French munitions ship. The blast completely flattened everything within 800 meters, sent shrapnel flying for several kilometers, and started a tsunami that demolished whole communities. More than 1900 people died that day, and 10,000 suffered horrific, life-long injuries. Flying glass from windows throughout the city, blinded thousands as they stood watching the fire moments before the big explosion. The stories of both tragedy and heroism are plentiful, and are fascinating to learn about. The hands on the clock at city hall remain permanently fixed at 9:04:35 AM; stopped at the exact moment of the explosion.

When I was about to start my piano practice this morning it went very dark and started to rain so I switched the light on.Our clocks went back an hour last night and this was the only one that didn't automatically change the time. The light reflected on it as if to remind me to change it manually.

Hoboken Terminal's clock tower (which appears to be missing its hands and part of its face at the moment) shares the scene with ConEdison's 14th Street clock tower as the 2018 edition of the Macy's Independence Day fireworks light up the sky above the East River.
