Many visitors to Conwy don't realise the church is central to the town, but is not easily seen unless you go up a narrow alley. This is the clock at the top of the unusual tower.
The Marquette clock in St. Louis, on the Marquette building. Originally completed in 1914. My father restored this clock when it had deteriorated so badly that it was nearly falling off the side of the building.

When the clock strikes every quarter, jousting knights rush round above the clock and the Quarter Jack bangs the quarter hours with his heels.

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...
An inside look at the clock tower in Bangor, PA. The antique four-faced clock was manufactured by the E. Howard Clock Co. of Boston, Massachusetts, and was installed in the borough hall in 1907. In addition to being Bangor’s timepiece, the clock chimed a coded ring to alert the borough fire department as to the location of the fire. They also used the tower to hang the fire hoses after a fire to dry.
After a period of neglect when the chimes fell silent, the Slate Belt Heritage Center, under the guidance and care of Jay Albert, brought the historic clock back to life again in early 2000. The help of a generous personal donation helped Jay to single-handedly restore the faces. The clock mechanism was restored by David Morgan, former president of the Worldwide Clock Towers Association.
Check out the Slate Belt Heritage Center for other neat regional history and artifacts.
Took this at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris. The clock mechanisms are exposed, and you can get to the inside and "look out" from a walkway. The watchman in the tower took a moment's break, and I caught it. This was in color, but I like the B&W better (see next pic).
Another Grook from Piet Hein. Wished I had the guts to remove the hands of a working clock. Oh well.

The clock over the Corn Exchange with its two minute hands. Bristol being 2 degrees, 36 minutes west of Greenwich, the sun is at its noon peak nearly eleven minutes later than at Greenwich. Prior to the railways, this time difference scarcely mattered, most towns keeping their own time. 1841 saw the first train pull in to Temple Meads station, heralding the dawn of the rail era in Bristol. Since the railways ran on Greenwich Mean Time, this meant Bristolians had to compensate for the eleven minutes difference. Thus the noon train would leave at 1149 hrs local time; to assist travellers, clocks were given two minute hands, Bristol Time and GMT. Bristol adopted GMT in 1852, ending this discrepancy.
