1008 J Street
Unique in Sacramento, this street clock originally featured a classical design and was located in front of Monk’s Jewelers on K Street, near the Crest Theater.
In the 1040’s, Mayes Jewelers moved the clock to J Street and outlined the clock face with neon lights and diamonds in a “Moderne” style. The clock remodel was one of the first uses of neon in Sacramento. Note the glass panels in the base of the clock which reveal how the clock functions.

The hands on the clock stopped moving but the pendulum kept swinging. I thought it was kind of interesting.

You can see guidelines , the clouds altered and the clock tower itself looking naff.

What is unusual about this clock tower is that it has a 24 hour clock face. The time shown is actually about 6:05pm, not 3:05pm as you might think.
Located in East Park Wolverhampton, I remember as a child climbing up the inside on the steel ladder, sure it had faces to the clocks then too???
