Montage pairing an image of the Clock Tower, central Brighton, and it's shadow. The backlit image has been distorted and (mirror) reversed so that the outline corresponds with its shadow.

clock hands actually move. The numbers on the clock faces are hand beaded, and the center is vintage jewelry and an actually clock pendant.
Novelty wall clock. Nothing more than sticking a nice looking watch movement onto a piece of artwork.
Bought this in 2000 in Pisa, Italy while on holiday. The watch though, is bought in Venice.
Though, I have replaced the worn out battery multiple times I have failed to notice that the watch movement was actually made in Singapore ! (during a battery replacement more than a decade after I acquire it, the watch had since been defective) What a coincidence, I have literally bought a watch in Venice that was made in SG ! Amazing.
Only Time will tell and every clock tells a story....
The problem with clock is, once you got two they start to multiply..
It all started when I acquired my first clock a 1960's jap 7-day wall clock from a colleague of mine by the name of Wong Mun Lai, a clock collector

It was a non-working clock which I wanted to hang up for display. After a while, I felt something amiss. A clock is not a clock if it does'nt work! So I took it apart and do some fixing, to my surprise I managed to get it ticking again ! I was totally fascinated From there I got my second, third and so on....
My favourite has to be the 400 day clock

Location: Victoria & Alfred Waterfront
Description: When I noticed this yacht motoring out of the marina towards the harbour entrance recently, I realized that I would have an excellent photo opportunity as it passed the bright red Clock Tower. As I moved into position to take the shot, I noticed that at least thirty other people had the same idea as me, and were now getting ready to take the exact same picture! Damn I thought, this has got to be one of the most photographed buildings in Cape Town, should I even bother taking the pic? I only had about three seconds to procrastinate before the boat moved into position, and fortunately that was enough time to decide that I would ignore all the others and attempt to take the definitive Clock Tower photograph.
Technique: This would have made a great double-image vertical panorama (to include the whole boat), but unfortunately I only had a one second window period to capture the boat before it passed the clock tower.
Note: If the tower appears to be leaning over a little to the left, its because it really is leaning over (by at least 50mm (the width of a cell-phone?))!!

The Chamberlain Clock stands at the junction of the Vyse and Frederick Street with Warstone Lane. It was constructed in 1903 to mark Joseph Chamberlain's visit to South Africa. It was unveiled in January 1904 by Joseph Chamberlain's wife. It is now a local landmark and symbol of the Quarter.
Chamberlain had been a resident on Frederick Street and had also helped jewellers through his campaign work to abolish Plate Duties - a tax affecting jewellery tradesmen of the time. The timepiece was originally powered by a clockwork winding handle. It was later adapted to electricity but fell into disrepair and lost its chime. As a result, it was fully restored in 1989.
I remember going up to the first floor when I was about 8 years old to the restaurant.
The lift hasn't changed much, and I remember that clock above the lift.
