The Prague astronomical clock, or Prague orloj, is a medieval astronomical clock installed in 1410, making it the third-oldest astronomical clock in the world and the oldest one still working. The astronomical dial has a background that represents the standing Earth and sky, and surrounding it operates four main moving components: the zodiacal ring, an outer rotating ring, an icon representing the Sun, and an icon representing the Moon.

This is a Junghans ATO clock, which dates back to the early 1950's or so. It is an electro-mechanical clock. There is a curved magnetized rod attached to the bottom of the pendulum. A solenoid coil, on the left, is briefly energized when the escapement closes a switch. The energized coil generates a magnetic field, which pulls the pendulum to the left.
The clock has a glass case, which is removed for this photo.
The three-faced clock in the middle of Milngavie was an original feature of Copland & Lye department store on 165 Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow. The Clock was gifted to Milngavie when the town centre was pedestrianised. The initials of the department store "C & L" can be seen at the top of the clock.
For "square", I chose my circular clock & cropped the photo to a square as I liked the contrasting shapes.

On top of the carillon is a sculpture of two blacksmiths. It is one of four different groups that turn out six hours each. Each group has its own melody that the bells play when the group appears. The groups are made by Ragnar Myrsmeden.

This is my entry for the "Like A Boss" contest.
The Clock Tower is from the game "Epic Mickey" for the Wii. He is the first boss you face in the game and is my personal favorite. He lives in "Small World" area of Wasteland. At one time the Clock Tower was a very friendly character but after listening to the song "It's a small world after all" non-stop for years on end, it drove him to insanity!
There are two ways to beat this boss. You can either repair him with Mickey Mouse's paint or you can destroy him with Thinner. Each path has an effect on the story progression throughout the game.
