inside the clock tower at BOCM Pauls Selby. The faces and mechanism have been "saved." The rest is now rubble.
"Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow airport. General opinion makes out that we live in a world of hatred and greed I don't see that. Seems to me that love is everywhere...
...When the planes hit the Twin Towers, none of the phone calls from people on board were messages of hate or revenge, they were all messages of love.
If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around..." Love actually

It was a non-working clock which I wanted to hang up for display. After a while, I felt something amiss. A clock is not a clock if it does'nt work! So I took it apart and do some fixing, to my surprise I managed to get it ticking again ! I was totally fascinated From there I got my second, third and so on....

manual
The case of this clock is by Hans Coenraadt Breghtel (1608-75) with movement by Adriaan van den Bergh. It is from the Hague in 1650-75 and is partially gilded silver.
It appears in the V&A exhibition Baroque: Style in the Age of Magnificence.
This clock was made for display as a masterpiece of design and technical virtuosity. The exceptionally fine goldsmiths' work includes richly embossed floral ornament and also silver filigree, a technique of Chinese origin. The design, with complex references to the zodiac, the seasons and the passing of time, presents the clock as a Temple of Life.

Mantel clock, triple chiming (Westminster, St.Michael, Whittington), in oak veneer with lighter oak inlay.
I think it dates from the 1920's. Or maybe it is even older.
Despertador antic. Crec que data del 1920. O potser encara és més vell.

This gigantic clock, at the heart and peak of the old asylum, somehow lends an appropriate gravitas to the structure. With four large dials, each crested by a gracefully sculpted "bishop's hat" arch, it is is a fine sight to behold through a long lens.
To see some excellent historical views taken from atop this tower during the hospital's later operational days in the 1990s, click here. Fellow Leeds-based urban exporer Phill.d also posted some great images from inside the tower back in 2007: click here to have a look at what lies within.

This small station operates as a turnout for the trains of the Pre-Alps Express. The beautiful clock that I saw a couple of times from the train was the reason to take a closer look at this station on occasion. Thereby I discovered the amazing ticket system Handomat. Only the trains of the Southeastern-Railways (SOB) stops here on request. Altmatt SZ, Switzerland, July 26, 2010.

The original clock-face from the the clock-tower of the Holyrood brewery, Edinburgh.
Now living in the fire-exit of the PizzaExpress, Holyrood building.
this large clock with it's numbers scattered around its face is in one of the side entrances to the L'Illa building in Barcelona. It was designed by Javier Mariscal in 1994 for the Swiss company Winterthur.
I particularly like the way the number 6 blocks the entrance stairway!
