My MIL has this big grand-father clock in her living room. I thought it had a neat design, as well as the "pendant" having a cool, convex reflection.
Fr: Ma belle-mere a une horloge suisse chez elle. Je pensais que son design etait sympa, ainsi que le reflet convexe du "pendant".
The movement of the clock is inside the building and drove with a shaft the hands outside at the visible clock

This is such a wonderful clock
Telford Shopping Centre's most striking feature is a giant clock above its central square. Called the Telford Time Machine, it weighs four tonnes, spans 16 m and incorporates a frog that winks and blows bubbles at passers-by.
The clock was designed by artist and writer Kit Williams, and adds a much-needed dash of colour to the 78,965 sq m (850,000 sq ft) centre. While attracting an average of 300,000 visitors a week, more than twice the population of Telford, the shopping centre's layout is increasingly seen as an obstacle to growth.
Clock at Cressington station. Opened in March 1873, this was on the CLC (Cheshire Lines Committee) main line to Manchester (and probably Southport) until April 1972, when, along with the Gateacre line, it was closed.
Since 1978, however, it has been part of the Merseyrail network and is the only station I know of (on the Southport line) to still have its stationmaster's house.

Square The clock
Archaeological excavations have proved that here was the location of the forum Avenio . The memory of the center of the ancient city survived all during the Middle Ages as the medieval streets were all the doors of the old wall of the twelfth and thirteenth century to the square. It was then "Place du Mazel" which settled the macelliers (butchers) market days. It was partly occupied by the Benedictine convent of Saint-Laurent, the oldest of the city.
The first public clock and jacquemart were installed on the tower of the former livery of Albano, the new headquarters of the City Hall, in 1471 .New demolitions were made during 1498 to clear the place that had then taken the name "instead of relocated" .
But the 1618 plan, drawn up by Marco Antonio Gandolfo, mathematician Palermo and engraved by Theodore Hoochstraten, The Hague, "The Square" still had some very small dimensions . In 1674, the consuls decided to further expansion having noted that the carriages great difficulty in passing it. It was followed this municipal ordinance in 1682, following the plancs by Pierre Mignard.
But it was far from enough. In the middle of the eighteenth century, Jean-Baptiste Frankish pitched in turn plans to enlarge the Place in which it provided, on both sides, symmetrical facades. Work began then was abandoned on the orders of the consuls in 1754 .

I used an old Canon optical image stabilizer lens [EF-S 17-85mm 1:4-5.6 IS USM] on an EOS 450D DSLR. With exposures of up to a 1/4 of a second, most of the images had to be discarded, and the remainder are very "grainy" / "noisy", but the pictures at least form a sort of record of the event...
Clock Tower square, Norzin Lam, Thimphu
Clock Tower Square has a tower with four clock faces located in Thimphu, capital of Bhutan. It is a famously known landmark in Thimphu. There are many shops, hotels and restaurants surrounding the square.
The clock tower square is located below Norzin Lam, Thimphu above the national football stadium in the heart of the capital.
The Clock-tower has a typical Bhutanese architectural outlook with rich Bhutanese carvings and paintings. There are traditional hand crafted dragon with golden painting on all the four faces of the tower which symbolizes the county as an independent dragon kingdom. The tower has beautiful paintings and carvings of flowers which add more magnificence to the tower. The shops, restaurants and hotels in the clock tower square have a blend of fine traditional and modern architectural Bhutanese design with multi-coloured wood frontages, small arched windows, and sloping roofs. The buildings around the square are all small three storied structures.

The cabinetmakers put the final touches to the top section of one of our longcase (grandfather) clocks.
One of our most sophisticated timepieces, E. Howard & Co. have produced high quality watched and clocks since 1842. Classic craftsmanship meets modern technology with the addition of Atomic accuracy. Displays both analog and digital formats, as well as date. Comes in polished stainless or gold-plated stainless housing.
In one of his recent "Ask the Pilot" columns, Patrick Smith quoted a reader email complaining about a lack of clocks in airports ("With very few hidden and randomly placed exceptions, there are no clocks") and Smith himself says "[reader] is right, you don't see clocks in airports."
Neither hidden nor randomly placed: Lambert-St. Louis Airport has had this sign treatment since at least the early 1980s -- I remember it from when I was changing planes here on Ozark Airlines, and perhaps you can tell it's been around that long because of the "trendy" lower-case lettering. These "central time" clocks appear every few signs along the corridor. (If I'd been in a place with a longer straightaway, I could have gotten several clocks in the photo at once.)

From Wikipedia:
"The Clock Tower is a landmark in Hong Kong. It is located on the southern shore of Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon. It is the only remnant of the original site of the former Kowloon Station on the Kowloon-Canton Railway. Officially named Former Kowloon-Canton Railway Clock Tower, it is usually referred to as the Tsim Sha Tsui Clock Tower (Traditional Chinese: 尖沙咀鐘樓) for its location.
Built out of red bricks and granite, the Clock Tower peaks at 45 metres, and is topped by a 7-metre lightning rod. The top of the tower can be reached by a wooden staircase located within. The interior of Clock Tower had previously been open for visit, but is currently closed for maintenance.
The clock tower is located near Victoria Harbour at the foot of Salisbury Road. Another landmark, the Tsim Sha Tsui Ferry Pier, is located nearby.
The tower has been listed as a declared monument in Hong Kong since 1990."
