Mon premier MOC !
L'Horloge indique les secondes, minutes et heures.
Le Coucou ( un perroquet lol ) est réglée pour se déclancher une fois par heure.
Par manque de pièces, elle n'a pas encore une grande autonomie, mais dure plusieurs minutes.

My first MOC !
The clock indicates the seconds, minutes and hours.
The Cuckoo ( a parrot lol ) is set to trigger once per hour.
For lack of parts, it still lacks a lot of autonomy, but lasts for several minutes.
This clock is straight out of the mid 1980s. It is in almost new old stock condition. The only evidence of any use is on the battery lid from where the previous owner had changed the battery. This clock has a unique 2 tone alarm
The Fountain Street Clock in Belfast city centre was built in Germany and then shipped to Northern Ireland.
Built in 2000, it is a radio-controlled clock, which means it receives signals from Frankfurt regularly throughout the day, keeping an accurate account of the time.
“It is an unusual clock because it has different figures associated with different seasons throughout the year. For example, at Christmas it has the nativity scene with figures of King David, John the Baptist, Joseph, Mary and Jesus,” comments Fitzsimons.
The bronze chiming bells are the work of Joachim Otto Buer from Germany who was also commissioned to carve the wooden figures.
The structure was designed by architects Eileen Fitzpatrick and her husband Sam Mays. There are also mosaic pane which shows morning, afternoon and evening. These are the work of artist and sculptor Bernadette Sutton.
On the hour the bells play melodies as the figures emerge and move round the clock. Alice in Wonderland figures also appear at specific times.
The Colgate Clock, located at the Colgate-Palmolive factory in Clarksville, Indiana is one of the largest clocks in the world. It has a diameter of 40 feet. It was first illuminated in Clarksville on 11/17/1924. It is located directly across the Ohio River from Louisville, Kentucky.
Before the factory was bought by Colgate, it served as the Indiana Reformatory South. It opened in 1847. In 1919 there was a fire and caused the need for much money to be spent in order to restore it to full operating capacity. The state of Indiana decided to relocate the prison and Colgate bought the building in 1923. Designed by Colgate engineer Warren day and constructed by the Seth Thomas Clock Company for the centennial for the Colgate Company in 1906, the clock served as the original Colgate Clock at Colgate-Palmolive facilities located in Jersey City, New Jersey.
Inside the bell tower looking out at the clock.
We opted for the guided tour of the bell tower, which lasted about an hour. There was a detailed description of the ten bells and the different mechanisms for ringing them. We also visited the top of the bell tower, which gave panormic views of Bath.
See the front of the clock.
