The famous “Binns Clock” on the corner of Princes Street and Hope Street in Edinburgh has been restored. The building used to be occupied by the department store Binns which was taken over by House of Fraser in 1953. The clock was installed in 1960 and was an iconic meeting place. The Frasers store closed in 2018 and the building is currently being converted into the Johnnie Walker Experience. The clock restoration work was carried out by the Cumbria Clock Company who also repaired the musical mechanism which plays traditional Scottish tunes every half an hour as the kilted figures march out of the clock. In keeping with tradition, the Highland figures will emerge to the musical accompaniment every seven and 37 minutes past the hour.
I caught the sun striking directly on the clock tower for a brief moment.
Tried out an edit to give it a little more mystery. Not sure I love this edit but always good to try new things.

Victoria Tower built 1847-48 to commemorate the opening of the adjacent Salisbury Dock Liverpool. Known also as the 'Dockers Clock' and is to be restored as part of a docks re-development scheme. Just behind the Tower is the site of Everton FCs new stadium at the former Bramley Moore Dock, at left in the far distance is the Seaforth Container Port.
The Prague Astronomical Clock or Prague Orloj is a medieval astronomical clock located in Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic. The Orloj is mounted on the southern wall of Old Town City Hall in the Old Town Square and is a popular tourist attraction.
The Orloj is composed of three main components: the astronomical dial, representing the position of the Sun and Moon in the sky and displaying various astronomical details; "The Walk of the Apostles", a clockwork hourly show of figures of the Apostles and other moving sculptures; and a calendar dial with medallions representing the months.

Now, let me tell you about 11:11...
... and maybe I can even seek your advice.
Over the past few months, I have developed... I don’t know... a curious ‘relationship’ with ‘11:11’, which is beginning to make me think! It has gradually dawned on me that, on many, many occasions, when I randomly check the time, it is... 11:11! To start with, I had put this down to the fact that its repetitious, visual nature drew my attention to it (this was borne out by the fact that the LCD clock in my last car was faulty and, even when it wasn’t actually eleven minutes past eleven, the faulty clock made it look that way and it did attract my attention).
BUT, more recently, I have frequently come to check the time during the day, having not previously seen the face of my watch or a clock, and it has been... 11:11! And it’s happening too regularly to be a coincidence!!!
What could this be? Why could this be? I have ‘Googled’ this and not become any the wiser.... except that, perhaps, in another life, I had some connection with the First World War and Armistice Day!
HELP! Does anyone have a logical explanation? (apart from any obvious comments that might come along to suggest I’m ‘losing it’ or am on drugs!!).
(NB: the ‘07’ on my watch, here, is the day of the month and the ‘23’ is the seconds).

According to Silky Smoove, this is the second largest clock in the world. I went to Wikipedia to verify, and the article said, "In the late 1960s, SILKY SMOOVE ROCKS!!"
This attractive clock stands in the downtown area of Dillwyn, Virginia. I haven't located any historical information about it, but it is located a short distance from the train station, which is partially visible behind the tree in the background.
The train despatcher watches the clock as Regional Railways-liveried 37429 fills Chester's platform 4 canopy with diesel fumes as it awaits right away on 17th June 2000, heading an evening Holyhead-Crewe service.

... at Old City Hall rises 103 metres (340 ft) at the corner of Queen and Bay Streets in Toronto, directly opposite the new(er) City Hall. It may have taken 10 years to build, but Old City Hall finally opened its doors in 1899. Today it's home to the Ontario Court of Justice and the Superior Court of Justice which try cases ranging from minor provincial offences to serious criminal charges under the sharp eyed gaze of four gargoyles atop the tower.

Anyone who has been to Glasgow’s Buchanan Bus Station will have spotted the striking Clyde Clock.
The cube shaped clock – perched on top of a pair of stainless steel legs, 20 feet high – reminds locals to run on time every single day.
Twelve years after its installment, though, the clock suddenly stopped – and it took the power of Glasgow’s people to get things ticking over again.
