New York, NY; the sign was moved (building demolished) & replaced recently to accommodate bigger numbers (and I guess this sign will have to be replaced yet again very soon!); I like the look of the old sign better - from 2003:

Since this is a static photo rather than a video, just imagine those numbers on the right flying by 24 hours a day. Rather frightening!
St Mary's church, Lymm.
Lymm rushbearing day today and going along with it St Mary's church opened up its tower. I got to visit and learn about the bell ringing room and how it all works (more interesting than I would have thought!), the clock room and its mechanism and finally access to the roof.

If you use the Flickr zoom in facility you will just make out on the dial that the mechanism was made by W Potts & Sons in Leeds - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potts_of_Leeds

Prague Astronomical Clock or Pražský orloj is a medieval astronomical clock located in Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic.
The Orloj is composed of three main components: the astronomical dial, representing the position of the Sun and Moon in the sky and displaying various astronomical details; "The Walk of the Apostles", a clockwork hourly show of figures of the Apostles and other moving sculptures; and a calendar dial with medallions representing the months.
The clock show of It's A Small World nearing completion. The doors that show the time are in the process of opening.
Astronomical Clock detail. The outer ring gives the time in traditional Bohemian notation (beginning at sunset). The second ring of Roman Numerals gives the time in traditional notation. The inner ring shows the position of the sun and moon in the twelve sign of the Zodiac. Note figures of Vanity and Greed to the left and Death and the Turk to the right. These figures move on the hour and the golden cock crows.

Belfasts own leaning tower, the Albert clock was built between 1865 and 1870.
As its built on soft land, that has been reclaimed from the sea, the tower leans and only recently has had a restoration which included straighting it up a little.

Eastgate Clock in Chester, Cheshire, England, stand on the site of the original entrance to the Roman fortress of Deva Victrix. It is a prominent landmark in the city of Chester and is said to be the most photographed clock in England after Big Ben.
The familiar octagonal Colgate clock, facing Manhattan, dates back to 1924 when it was set in motion on December 1 by Jersey City's Mayor Frank Hague. Located on the former site of Colgate-Palmolive & Company, it is a reminder of the time when factories dominated the Jersey City's waterfront. Its design was inspired by Colgate's Octagon Soap, a cleansing bar that is no longer produced. The surface of the clock is 1,963.5 square feet and 50 feet in diameter. The minute hand is 25 feet, 10 inches long; the hour hand is 20 feet long. The timepiece can be adjusted and is maintained to stay within one minute of accurate time. There was a small master clock at Colgate that was checked against the US Naval Observatory in Washington, DC. The clock's mechanism is like that of a traditional wall clock with weights and wheels but is powered by twenty-eight large-volt batteries that are recharged.
