The clock was erected in 1899 to commemorate the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria two years earlier. It was designed by Chester architect, John Douglas and since 1955 it has been a Grade I listed building.

Dolmabahçe Clock Tower (Turkish: Dolmabahçe Saat Kulesi) is a clock tower situated outside Dolmabahçe Palace in Istanbul, Turkey. The tower was ordered by Ottoman sultan Abdülhamid II (1842–1918) and designed by the court architect Sarkis Balyan between 1890 and 1895.
The clock tower was added to Dolmabahçe Palace, and stands in front of its Treasury Gate on a square along the European waterfront of Bosphorus next to Dolmabahçe Mosque. Designed in Ottoman neo-baroque style, the four-sided, four-story tower stands on a floor area of 8.5 × 8.5 m (28 × 28 ft) at a height of 27 m (89 ft). Its clock was manufactured by the renowned French clockmaker house of Jean-Paul Garnier, and installed by the court clock master Johann Mayer. In 1979, the original mechanical clock was converted partly to an electrical one. On two opposite sides of the tower, the tughra of Sultan Abdul Hamid II is put on
Raymond Saunders' first steam clock was built in 1977 at the corner of Cambie and Water streets in Vancouver's Gastown neighbourhood. Although the clock is now owned by the City of Vancouver, funding for the project, estimated to be about $58,000 CDN, was provided by contributions from local merchants, property owners, and private donors. Incorporating a steam engine and electric motors, the clock displays the time on four faces and announces the quarter hours with a whistle chime that plays the Westminster Quarters. The clock produces a puff of steam from its top on the hour.

Fits the criteria for the Smile on Saturday challenge - always easy to tell the time on Rochester High Street with our super-sized clock. And as a bonus there is a row of chimney pots in the background.

An old time clock complete with time cards in an old abandoned manufacturing plant. How many of you can remember punching a card before and after shift? I can, back in the '70s. There were no computers or smartphones back then.

I replaced the old clock in the master bath with this rustic one.
I think it fits in the house much better than the old one did.

I think the Barkas B1000 van in the picture is an ambulance and you can see the blue smoke from the exhaust of its two stroke engine.
A shot of the same location from 1994 can be seen in the following link.

San Giacomo di Rialto Church (Italian: Chiesa di San Giacomo di Rialto). It has a large 15th-century clock above the entrance, a useful item in the Venetian business district but regarded as a standing joke for its inaccuracy. A part of the Rialto Bridge can be seen to the right.
According to tradition, San Giacomo is the oldest church in the city, supposedly consecrated in the year 421. Although documents exist mentioning the area but not the church in 1097, the first document citing the church dates from 1152. The church was rebuilt in 1071.

Venice is a unique artistic achievement. The city is built on 118 small islands. Venice also has one of the highest concentrations of great monuments such as Piazza San Marco with the cathedral and Palazzo Ducale.
It was from Venice that Marco Polo (1254-1324) set out in search of China, Sumatra, India and Persia.
The occurrence of exceptional high waters poses nowadays a significant threat to the protection and integrity of Venice lagoon and historic settlements.
