This was the church clock in the market square at Nuremberg. I find these clocks to be spectacular with many having moving parts when the clock chimes. Unfortunately, they have put wire grating around the figures to prevent birds from roosting on them.

... at Old City Hall rises 103 metres (340 ft) at the corner of Queen and Bay Streets in Toronto, directly opposite the new(er) City Hall. It may have taken 10 years to build, but Old City Hall finally opened its doors in 1899. Today it's home to the Ontario Court of Justice and the Superior Court of Justice which try cases ranging from minor provincial offences to serious criminal charges under the sharp eyed gaze of four gargoyles atop the tower.

Anyone who has been to Glasgow’s Buchanan Bus Station will have spotted the striking Clyde Clock.
The cube shaped clock – perched on top of a pair of stainless steel legs, 20 feet high – reminds locals to run on time every single day.
Twelve years after its installment, though, the clock suddenly stopped – and it took the power of Glasgow’s people to get things ticking over again.

The idea of a clock for the British Army and Royal Navy garrison at Halifax is credited to Prince Edward, Duke of Kent, who arranged for a turret clock to be manufactured before his return to England in 1800. It is said that Prince Edward, then commander-in-chief of all military forces in British North America, wished to resolve the tardiness of the local garrison.

A table cuckoo clock built in the course of 24 hours as a contender for an exhibition.
It will be displayed among three other fan-built clocks in the LEGO House celebrating the 60th birthday of the LEGO brick.
One of the requirements was that the dials point to 1.58 which is the exact time the patent for the LEGO interlocking brick was registered 60 years ago.

The towerclock dates 1920 and was donateur by ship-owner N. J. Holden and wife. The clock was made at the Cornelis Knudsen workshop by clockmaker Jens Olsen, better known for this worldclock at the Copenhagen Townhall.
1st Issue of Doomsday Clock got released today and man are things getting interesting. It was a lot of exposition for the first issue but I can't wait to see how the story unfolds over the next 11 issues. Highly recommend it!
This is a clock tower at a community college where I live. I walk a trail here everyday. Today I strolled the campus mindfully looking carefully at what everyone walks by in a rush to get to where they are headed. Getting between the narrow towers with my camera facing skyward, I was surprised by the shape and design which looks nothing like this straight on. It was a good reminder to slow down and look closely at my surroundings.
Astronomical Clock, Czech Republic
Clocks involving mechanical figures often tell a story. In Prague, the astronomical clock set into the Old Town Hall Tower shows the procession of the Twelve Apostles, as the hour strikes from 9am to 11pm.
A tower was added to the hall in the Old Town Square in the 14th Century. In 1410, the clockmaker Mikuláš of Kadaň devised a mechanism that could be added to it. Prague was a multicultural city and it was intended that this clock could be read by anyone, whichever method they used. A calendar element was added in 1490, which moved forward a day on the strike of midnight.
In 1659, the clock underwent repairs and it is believed that the moving figures were incorporated into the clock at this time. Figures on the clock include a skeleton, a vain man carrying a mirror, philosopher, astronomer and stone angel. A golden rooster was added to the clock in 1882, which makes a crowing sound created by a set of bellows.
The astronomical clock has been through many periods of repair and restoration since the 15th Century. The most serious damage came from an incendiary shell destroying much of the clock's workings at the end of the Second World War. It was back in operation again by 1948 and modifications continued through the second half of the 20th Century, including setting the clock to Central European Time (CET) and replacing and repainting the figurines.

Clock-O'-Clay
In the cowslip pips I lie,
Hidden from the buzzing fly,
While green grass beneath me lies,
Pearled with dew like fishes' eyes,
Here I lie, a clock-o'-clay,
Waiting for the time o' day.
While the forest quakes surprise,
And the wild wind sobs and sighs,
My home rocks as like to fall,
On its pillar green and tall;
When the pattering rain drives by
Clock-o'-clay keeps warm and dry.
Day by day and night by night,
All the week I hide from sight;
In the cowslip pips I lie,
In the rain still warm and dry;
Day and night, and night and day,
Red, black-spotted clock-o'-clay.
My home shakes in wind and showers,
Pale green pillar topped with flowers,
Bending at the wild wind's breath,
Till I touch the grass beneath;
Here I live, lone clock-o'-clay,
Watching for the time of day.
John Clare (1793-1864)
Jens Olson's Astonomical Clock.
This clock is amazing. It shows local time in Copenhagen, solar time, the time at any location on earth, the time of sunrise and sunset both according to local time and actual solar time, lengths of day and night. The Gregorian calendar shows the year (6), the day of the week, date and month (7), local mean time - Central European time, the daily time 15° east of Greenwich in hours, minutes and seconds. A perpetual calendar consists of 5 dials, indicating: The Sunday letter (3), the epact (4), the sun circle (5), the indiction (6) and the moon circle (7). Furthermore, there is a calendar showing the 12 months of the year, the days and dates of the week, every moon phase as well as the calculated Easter Sunday - all other holidays according to Easter Sunday. The perpetual calendar are automatically set in motion every New Years Eve at midnight, to calculate the calendar for the following year. It runs for the next 2500 years.

Standing tall at 85m, Rajabai clock tower in South Mumbai, is now a part of Unesco World Heritage site. Designed with inspiration from Big Ben, this 140 year old tower clock was built by a wealthy broker, who also founded Bombay Stock Exchange. The local legend has it that his mother (Rajabai) was blind, and the periodic chimes of this clock tower helped her know the time without external help.
