(I will need to retake the new version - I didn't get the angle quite right). The side of the clock facing the camera has acquired a new stonework border since the last photo was taken. Possibly this existed previously but was on the opposite side. The place names have also changed position (Marne is now in the place of Arras at top right). The clock was dismantled around 2008 to allow for tramline construction, so these changes aren't that surprising....possibly the clock has been rotated 180 degrees when it was rebuilt.

The clock of church Notre-Dame de la Trinité in a warm ray of light.
I can't explain why but I'm somehow fascinated with clocks...
The present structure was designed in 1892 by A. Page Brown, a New York architect who had started with McKim, Mead and White, and later moved to California. Influenced by studies at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris, he designed the clock tower after the 12th-century Giralda bell tower in Seville, Spain.

The original clock mechanism was refurbished in 2000; it is complete and intact, despite two previous modifications. The Ferry Building has its original Special #4 clock made in 1898 by the Boston clock maker E. Howard. It is the largest wind-up, mechanical dial clock in the world. The four dials are each twenty-two feet in diameter, and a portion of the dial appears to be back-lit at night. This is the effect of two concentric dials on each clock face, in which the inner dial is lit and visible at night.
Some craftsmen go to great lengths to tell the time - see also the closeup.
