The Great Clock was installed on Marshall Field’s State Street Store on November 26, 1897. Marshall Field envisioned his great clock as a beacon that could be seen for miles and attract crowds to his store which he saw as a meeting place.
A closer view of Brighton’s Clock Tower that commemorates Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee of 1887. Her wayward son Bertie is depicted on the panel. He was to become King Edward VII in 1901. The cables spreading out from the Tower hold lights that illuminate the scene at night.
Professor Martin Fisher speeds past, in the guise of Brighton & Hove 438 (BF12KXR). It is a Volvo B9TL with Wright Gemini Eclipse 2 bodywork. Prof. Martin Fisher was a noted doctor who became an HIV consultant in Brighton in 1995. Many patients owe their lives to his tireless work. The Martin Fisher Foundation was set up in 2015 to continue his work.

KINGS HEAD CLOCK
This Clock Originally stood outside the Kings Head Public House, Hagley Road, and was removed for road widening in 1971
It was renovated, fitted with new electric clock mechanism and erected on this site by the City engineers department on 1st April 1979.
The maker of the original clockwork drive unit was Arthur Walker (1871-1948) who carried out his trade as a clockmaker from 1900 at 31A Vere Street (now demolished). His gear cutting machine and other accessories are kept at the Birmingham Museum of Science and Industry, Newhall Street.(*)
The cast iron components which include the column, turret and crown were made by J and A Law Ironfounders, Glasgow.
The base of the column also served as a horse trough, dog drinking bowl (at ground level) and a supply of water for public use.
The clock faces were originally gas lit and it was necessary to hand wind the clock once a week
TEMPUS FUGIT
*Now also demolished - Not sure if they are on display at the Thinktank or not....

This fridge was a fancy one. Here is a pic of the clock on the front. It's been cleaned up quite a bit.
Inspired by the cyclops watch from Mr Jones Watches (http://mrjoneswatches.com/html/cyclops.html) I set out to create my own prototype.
Using a cheap IKEA clock, I printed a new face and taped it over the old one.
The colours were chosen using the In Rainbows equation to convert a string to an md5 hash, then take the first 6 hex digits. Those are the values for "01:00", "01:30", ..., "12:00", "12:30". I don't think I would personally choose those values, but I went with them anyway to see how they look.
I like the idea of waking-up at about royal blue o'clock.
Back in March 2004 (hey, 8 years ago), we were diagnosing the first failures of the stepper-driven clock face. Clock faces (like this one) are NOT designed to be laid flat and be stomped on! It makes the hands rattle and strike each other.
An unusual clock hanging off the side of a building in downtown Minden, Louisiana. It has a "C" with a pine cone inside it.
I built this working cuckoo clock out of Lego bricks. It's using a quartz movement that I modified to work with the lego bricks.
The clock was designed in Bricksmith and I bought most of the parts through Bricklink.
A video of the clock in action is available at Youtube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=9v3BFXiamNA
The working clock is the oldest in the world. It is made with thousands of varieties of flowers and is re-created each year designed to commemorate special occasions. This year it celebrates the zoo's centenary.
It was invented by John McHattie of Edinburgh Parks and was first planted up in the spring of 1903 in West Princes Street Gardens. In that year it had only an hour hand but a minute hand was added the following year. It was soon imitated across the United Kingdom and later throughout the world. Here the clock mechanism is set inside the plinth of the statue to Allan Ramsay adjacent. There is also a cuckoo which calls each hour.
A work in progress, this device uses a 3" cathode ray tube to display the current time. Each letter is built up from individual line segments. Anode voltage is roughly 1200V, and the entire clock runs from a 5VDC power supply.
The astronomical clock in the north transept, erected in the 1950s as a memorial to those who lost their lives in the Second World War. The painted figurative details are the work of local artist Harry Stammers.
York Minster is England's largest medieval cathedral and almost impossible to do justice to. It has an awesome presence that cannot fail to impress.
Uniquely the cathedral was spared the ravages of the Civil War that decimated the medieval art of most English cathedrals and churches, and it thus possesses the largest collection of medieval glass in Britain throughout most of it's vast windows.
One of the more fantastic aspects of being in New York, is the ability to take the train or subway across to Hoboken, New Jersey. Home of TLC's "Cake Boss" and Carlo's bakery. We took the path train under the Hudson River over to Hoboken, and walked around. While the line to actually get in the bakery was longer than the lines at the airport, it was really fun to see the bakery that I see on TV all the time. I loved this clock right outside of Hoboken City Hall.
