Rubik's clock has four turning dials and four up-down pins. The aim is to set all 18 clocks (front and back of puzzle) to point to 12 o'clock.
The corner clocks, unlike the other clocks, rotate on both sides of the puzzle together and cannot be operated independently. Thus the puzzle contains only 14 independent clocks.
Each pin is arranged such that if it is "in" on one side it is "out" on the other side of the puzzle. The state of each pin determines whether the adjacent corner clock is mechanically connected to the three other adjacent clocks on the front side or on the back side.
Since there are 14 independent clocks, with 12 settings each, there are a total of 12^{14}=1,283,918,464,548,864 possible combinations for the clock faces.

Today, Day 6 of my 20 day self challenge I take a pause from landscapes to share this image. Music often Hijacks our perception of time, making it longer, making it pass quicker, distorting and bending it in varied tempos, directlng the way we dance, celebrate or mourn. This violin Clock in the possession of a friend seems to express this better than words.
Westminster, London
This shot has been done so many times in so many different ways, its hard to get an original take on it.
I recently saw a contact of mine upload his version and he boldly stated that 'you cant be a serious London photographer if you don't have this shot'.
I like to think i'm a serious London photographer.
Thank You for taking the time to look, your comments are greatly appreciated.
late evening sun at Abberley, It was a lot colder than it looks.
There is an interesting story about this folly if true. it was apparently built by the owner of Abberley Hall to spoil the claim of the owner of nearby Witley Court, that he owned everything that he could see from the Court.
An old brick clock tower stands tall, its face gazing over a modern apartment building. Wildflowers bloom at the base, creating a charming contrast between history and everyday life.

If you wander up the Hohen Markt street in Vienna’s centre at the top of the hour, expect to see a crowd of people peering up expectantly at an insurance building. The object of their fascination: a clock called the Ankeruhr.
Art Nouveau mechanical clock built in 1914
12 historical figures rotate slowly around the front
Be there at midday when the figures do a complete turn
Don't watch the clock;
do what it does.
Keep going.

Manial Palace and Museum (Prince Mohammed Ali Tewfik Palace), Manial, Cairo, Egypt (1899 - 1929).
The Moorish Style - Clock Tower lies between the Palace Reception and the Mosque. Its features were emphasized obviously in its geometry, openings and decorations.
The Clock style is also similar to Ramses Station Clock Tower except that the clock hand is snake shaped and not straight.

This clock sits atop the Mermaid Quay leisure and entertainment complex in Cardiff Bay.
It commemorates Ernest Thompson Willows, a local aviation and airship pioneer who built his first airship in 1905, aged just 19.
His early pioneering exploits resulted in Ernest becoming the first person in Britain to hold a pilot's licence for an airship when the Royal Aero Club awarded him Airship Pilots Certificate No. 1.
The clock is modelled on the early aero engine that would have powered Ernest's airships.
