Super retro vintage flip clock, made by General Electric likely in the 1960s. Mod design with rounded corners and oh-so cool details.
I awoke at 2am this morning to find that my clock had lost an hour. Unfortunately it was the one I was going to have a lie in over.
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).

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.

These are the actual "Turning" mechanism for the clock hands.
I really must get out more and take photos rather than staying indoors!
Started to read a collection of Scott Kelby's books which have been making me think a bit differently about what sort of photos I'm able to take... Good though.
The last open day I attended in Derby was in September 1989 and I recall entering Derby Works here at the clock tower to find a Midland loco on display in the roundhouse behind.
Both roundhouse and clock tower survive, though sadly no longer in railway use and the site of Derby Works, like so many of our workshops, is now an industrial estate.
Most amazing (digital) clock I've ever seen, though I still prefer analog clocks with dials!

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.
