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.
Circa: 1925
1008 J Street
Unique in Sacramento, this street clock originally featured a classical design and was located in front of Monk’s Jewelers on K Street, near the Crest Theater.
In the 1040’s, Mayes Jewelers moved the clock to J Street and outlined the clock face with neon lights and diamonds in a “Moderne” style. The clock remodel was one of the first uses of neon in Sacramento. Note the glass panels in the base of the clock which reveal how the clock functions.

The hands on the clock stopped moving but the pendulum kept swinging. I thought it was kind of interesting.
Meet Clocky. He is my graduation present from David. Clocky is an alarm clock that rolls off the nightstand and runs away. Clocky is the bomb.

Eastgate Clock in Chester stand on the site of the original entrance to the Roman fortress of Deva Victrix. It is a prominent landmark in the city of Chester and is said to be the most photographed clock in England after Big Ben.
The original gate was guarded by a timber tower which was replaced by a stone tower in the 2nd century, and this in turn was replaced probably in the 14th century. The present gateway dates from 1768 and is a three-arched sandstone structure which carries the walkway forming part of Chester city walls. In 1899 a clock was added to the top of the gateway to celebrate the diamond jubilee of Queen Victoria three years earlier. It is carried on openwork iron pylons, has a clock face on all four sides, and a copper ogee cupola. The clock was designed by the Chester architect John Douglas. The whole structure, gateway and clock, was listed by English Heritage on 28 July 1955 as a Grade I listed building.
