"Municipal Clock Tower (la Tour de l’Horloge) was built in 1510 and is decorated with ogees, braces and flamboyant gothic pinnacles.
Similar to the Flemish belfries in the North of France, the clock tower became a symbol of municipal power and unity."

Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.
- W. H. Auden

Owari clock needs some work. Laquered case pretty loose at all joints, broken trim. Movement dirty and not running.
The Bundy clock was an American invention used by transport companies to monitor timekeeping. The driver would have to insert a key at the stop in order to record his progress on a paper tape. The letters BCT stand for Birmingham City Transport, and these clocks date back to the tram era. As I recall, this one was still in use in 1974 on the Outer Circle bus route, which also featured some of the oldest buses still running then.

I must remember not to use the local camera / tv store to develop my film...no matter how quickly I need it developing. This roll of b/w film came back with what looks like soap bubbles on the images.
