This little device next to the bed was so much more than just an alarm clock. It also operated all room lights and the drapes to the window wall. And, if you want to sleep in you can just hit the Privacy button. Love it!
Spotted this one in the swanky neighborhoods of Ginza. The artist probably drew inspiration from around the clock working culture of Japan.
I do not remember in which building I spotted this one (Gucci, Louis Vuitton?) If you do please let me know. Thank you.
I took photos of different clocks around the house that had different sizes and shapes. I tried taking them from a distance that would give the appearance they were all the same sizes. Trying to match the size of the different clocks was a bit harder than I thought.
The Clock Tower was built in 1868 to mark the positioning of the original Mere Market House, a two storey building with a covered open ground floor for perishable market goods.
The Mere market ended in the 18th century but the upper floor, the ‘Croos Loft’, continued to be used as a school and it was here that the poet William Barnes had his first school in Mere. The market house was pulled down in 1863 and was replaced by the present Clock Tower which was opened by the Prince of Wales (later Edward VII) in 1868.

The National Debt Clock at 44th & Avenue of the Americas. I left my apartment around 8am to take this photo but thought it faced a different direction. It faces East, right to the sunrise. Bummer. I wasted 1 hour or more wandering around. I went to Grand Central to warm up.

I didn't take a picture of the clock before I cleaned it up. It's not perfect but looks good and works.
