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."
Here's a picture of my new clock. I think that in the quest of controlling time humans developed lovely machines that, unfortunately, made us slaves of them. We live in a world of rush where everything is scheduled for the good and the bad. Time can be a good friend of us but at the same time it is our worst enemy.
I hope you know how to invest your time in things that really matter. Enjoy your time, it is limited!
