This clock was put in place in 1874, and ran until 2011. The clock was created by Edward Dent, who also designed London’s Big Ben. At over 40 metres high, the Clock Tower was the tallest structure in Cardiff in Victorian times and contains a series of apartments over seven floors.
Building on the site of Cardiff Castle began almost 2,000 years ago and culminated in the nineteenth century with the fantastical High Gothic structure that we see today. The present Cardiff Castle evolved from a house owned by the 3rd Marquis of Bute who enlisted the extraordinary skills of the architect William Burges (1827–81) to redesign the structure and its interiors. Burges unveiled designs for the tower exterior and its interiors at the Royal Academy in 1870.
The theme of the Clock Tower is time. Set to either side of the large, cast iron clocks on each face of the tower are seven over life-sized figures representing the planets as Roman gods. The figures stand on pedestals and hold attributes relating to their sign of the Zodiac. Portrayed in medieval costume, the gods are Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Sol, Venus, Mercury, and Luna.

I made this clock using a Roland PNC2300 cnc milling machine to create the background, polyester resin and latex to make the chocolates. The moulds were made by coating some real chocolates with several layers of latex over a period of days until a useable mould was made. This clock is one of only two made.
London, England, United Kingdom
The Clock Tower of the Houses of Parliament in London at night. This photo was taken from the western face during my European road trip in 2004. The tower is artifically lit from the base, with trees silhouetted in the foreground.
The name "Big Ben" originally referred to the largest bell (also called the "Great Bell") inside the tower, rather than the tower itself. The tower is 316 feet tall, and was designed in a neo-gothic style by Augustus Pugin. Its clock has been keeping time since 1859.
At Etch we are constantly creating new ideas for potential new products as we don't believe a business should hold back on venturing into new territories. What do you think of this new clock design, should we create a range?
Clock Tower square, Norzin Lam, Thimphu
Clock Tower Square has a tower with four clock faces located in Thimphu, capital of Bhutan. It is a famously known landmark in Thimphu. There are many shops, hotels and restaurants surrounding the square.
The clock tower square is located below Norzin Lam, Thimphu above the national football stadium in the heart of the capital.
The Clock-tower has a typical Bhutanese architectural outlook with rich Bhutanese carvings and paintings. There are traditional hand crafted dragon with golden painting on all the four faces of the tower which symbolizes the county as an independent dragon kingdom. The tower has beautiful paintings and carvings of flowers which add more magnificence to the tower. The shops, restaurants and hotels in the clock tower square have a blend of fine traditional and modern architectural Bhutanese design with multi-coloured wood frontages, small arched windows, and sloping roofs. The buildings around the square are all small three storied structures.
Clock tower at Levis commons, Perrysburg, Ohio. Taken at dusk. Shot with Nikon S200, and heavily processed to remove noise. lighting was perfect!
I like this sign for its petroliana connection but also the neon that could be seen with it lit in a dark area of the garage in E. Concord.

This dates back to 1410. It has Months, Seasons, Zodiac, Course of the Sun and Holidays...and it tells time!
On the stroke of the hour, the skeleton ( death) on the right tolls a bell and the 12 apostles follow... with several other figures in tow
A bit too literal, but trying to be transparent.
and,.....
I don't know exactly what this means... wait, that is being too literal. I mean I understand the subject ... no wait no I don't. I mean the tags say a 747. Out the window maybe? No... Rob wouldn't imply someting only in his eye... wait he might. I want to go the easy route and say this is about time on a clock.
Yes... that is what I will do. Oh wait... no I mean I could but maybe I shouldn't. Wait ... ummm. Damn! No I mean everything's cool. Well I mean I' m cool with this... the broader picture I mean. Well... ummm yeah .-)
Years ago, my father (who loves clocks) gave me a small Lexon alarm clock (side note: Lexon makes incredilby cool looking clocks). A couple of months ago, the second hand fell off. I mentioned this to my father, and he convinced me that repairing it would be straight-forward - and he was right. The only tricky thing was making sure that the alarm hand matched up with the time, but I worked that out.
