Jessop's Clock is located in San Diego, California, USA. It was built in 1907 by one of the city's noted jewelers, George Carter Jessop, and stood in the city's downtown centre for most of the 20th century.
It is said that on the day of his death, Jessop's clock stopped working for reasons that are as yet unknown. This tale has given the clock status as a San Diego landmark

My friend Keith used to say "pull the other one. It's got more bells on than the town hall clock" Mind you, he came from Horwich.
The Shepard clock still stands in downtown Providence today. It is the icon of a city that once prospered with large department stores where bustling traffic once shopped through all the festive seasons. "Meet me at the Shepard clock" was a phrase commonly heard by shoppers separating to shop the stores.
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.
This is a pretty cool vintage alarm clock, my guess is that its from the mid to late 70's.

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.

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