A 13th century marvel.... was framed at the Konark sun temple, associated with twelve pairs of gigantic wheels. This chariot wheel is actually a clock. Yes, you can precisely calculate the exact time of the day from the shadow of your finger only, using the sundial. It's difficult explaining this amazing technique here but still pretty interesting and accurate.
In effect, it functions in anti-clockwise direction. Major spokes, minor spokes along with small beads in between, all are the part of this whole technique.
Brilliant architecture !!!!

This clock would many advantages while one is sitting in the garden, Ie, time to get dinner underway ... Too much to do, can't sit out here all day ... Time to pick the kids up from school ... Time to put the kettle on (again) ... This crossword's taking ages to finish.
The list goes on.
But it does make a nice garden feature.
Located at the end of the beautiful promenade in La Rochelle, France is the "Great ClocK" (Porte de la Gros-Horloge), which is the gateway to the old town. It has a 12th century base and an octagonal Bell Tower original built in 1478 but rebuilt in 1746. Taken from across the Vieux Port.
