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?
We got this on our trip to Vancouver. Chesk really wanted one, as her nan had one similar which had pecking chickens. It took a while and several trips around Chinatown to find it - which was on about 8th and Main, rather than in Chinatown at all.
Oh. I've just realised that's not much of a story. Anyhoo, it's a nice clock.
Up on the roof terrace of the very expat-friendly Cafe Clock near the Medersa Bou Inania. We wound up here once a day during our time in Fés.

Description: When I noticed this yacht motoring out of the marina towards the harbour entrance recently, I realized that I would have an excellent photo opportunity as it passed the bright red Clock Tower. As I moved into position to take the shot, I noticed that at least thirty other people had the same idea as me, and were now getting ready to take the exact same picture! Damn I thought, this has got to be one of the most photographed buildings in Cape Town, should I even bother taking the pic? I only had about three seconds to procrastinate before the boat moved into position, and fortunately that was enough time to decide that I would ignore all the others and attempt to take the definitive Clock Tower photograph.
Technique: This would have made a great double-image vertical panorama (to include the whole boat), but unfortunately I only had a one second window period to capture the boat before it passed the clock tower.
Note: If the tower appears to be leaning over a little to the left, its because it really is leaning over (by at least 50mm (the width of a cell-phone?))!!

The old clerkenwell clock had not worked for years but had a rusty charm and was right twice a day.
Replaced in 2013.
The Old Town Hall and its tower were badly damaged in 1945 by Germany artillary. Many of the above-ground parts of the Town Hall and Tower had to be repaired or rebuilt after the War, but the upper Astrolabe (depicting the positions of the sun and moon) survived and has been operating with just a few interruptions for over 607 years, making it the oldest operating astronomical clock in Europe (and the third oldest, function or nonfunctioning.

The Church of England parish church of Saint Swithun is Decorated Gothic, built early in the 14th century. It has a south aisle, linked with the nave by an arcade of four bays. Late in the 15th century the Perpendicular Gothic clerestory was added to the nave. The chancel windows and one window in the south aisle are also Perpendicular Gothic. The font is much older than the church, dating from late in the 12th century. St. Swithun's had a north aisle but it was demolished in the 15th or 16th century. Its arcade of three bays was blocked up and remains in the north wall of the nave. The tower had a spire but it became unsafe and in 1796 it was removed. St. Swithun's most notable monuments are wall-mounted ones in the chancel commemorating John Doyley (died 1593) and his wife, Elizabeth Poole (died 1621) and Richard Harrington (died 1712). The Poole monument has strapwork and Tuscan columns but is significantly mutilated and in want of restoration. A turret clock for St. Swithun's was made late in the 17th century. Its original dial had only an hour hand. In 1867 this was replaced with a new dial that has both hour and minute hands. Some time after 1989 a new turret clock was installed; the 17th century original is now displayed in the nave. The Gothic Revival architect Charles Buckeridge restored St. Swithun's from 1865 until 1872. St. Swithun's had been decorated with mediaeval wall paintings, once brightly coloured but by 1823 described as "dim with age". During the restoration work it was found impossible to remove the layers of whitewash covering them.
