Another shot of the 5th Avenue clock and the Flatiron building in New York. The clock was a landmark for the Fifth Avenue Building which is now the Toy Center, a complex of buildings that now are hub for toy manufacturers and distributors in the US.

百無聊賴，
神出鬼沒的蚊子成了狩獵物。
緊迫的盯伺謀殺，蚊子魂歸西天於我手臂上。
腫隆起的疙瘩丘陵，像是蚊子葬身的墓塚。
偶一抬首，瞥見圓鐘上的時針，
忽跳一格，頓止。
有種放大鏡效果，
時間真是匆匆得鬼鬼祟祟。
Built in 1924, the iconic Colgate Clock in Jersey City, NJ, is now maintained by Goldman Sachs.

Cathedrals were built to inspire awe - and the chimes of the clock helped notify the clergy and parishioners that it was time to worship.
The clock, in it's wood structure, was installed during the time of Prior Thomas Castell (1494-1519), and renovated by Dean Hunt between 1620 and 1638.
One of the only substantial wood items to survive the Civil War, when even the soldiers billeted in the cold at Durham recognised how precious the clock was.

The towerclock dates 1920 and was donateur by ship-owner N. J. Holden and wife. The clock was made at the Cornelis Knudsen workshop by clockmaker Jens Olsen, better known for this worldclock at the Copenhagen Townhall.
Nürnberg - Ringdreherin beim Schönen Brunnen am Hauptmarkt
Der Schöne Brunnen auf dem Nürnberger Hauptmarkt wurde 1385–1396 von Heinrich Beheim erbaut. Im Laufe der Geschichte wurde er mehrmals restauriert (erstmals 1822–24 durch den Bildhauer Jacob Daniel Burgschmiet) und wieder aufgebaut. Heute ist am Hauptmarkt eine knapp hundert Jahre alte Kopie aus Muschelkalk in farbenfroher Bemalung zu sehen.
Der Ring gilt als Glücksbringer, einer Sage nach wird mit Kindersegen bedacht, wer daran dreht.

new cool pixel clock, which I've saw on this lewspeight's picture www.flickr.com/photos/29821828@N08/3316891070/ and I thought that I must have it ;)
and one more thing – in real life – the letters are white not blue :)
This is an old New Haven clock. Not sure when it was made. The case has fell apart.
The brass mechanism needs cleaned, but it still works. I wanted to restore but it may be beyond my skills.
This is a clock tower at a community college where I live. I walk a trail here everyday. Today I strolled the campus mindfully looking carefully at what everyone walks by in a rush to get to where they are headed. Getting between the narrow towers with my camera facing skyward, I was surprised by the shape and design which looks nothing like this straight on. It was a good reminder to slow down and look closely at my surroundings.
I was given the idea to turn this into a clock by a reddit user lonelytax. So I put one together quickly.

This is the main dial on the medieval astronomical clock on the south side of Prague's Old Town Hall. It was installed in 1410 and is the oldest working clock of this kind.
The background represents the Earth and the local view of the sky. Within the blue circle directly at the centre is our planet, Earth.
Golden Roman numerals at the outer edge of blue circle are the timescale of a normal 24-hour day and indicate time in local Prague time, or Central European Time.
The smaller circular dial is movable and has the 12 signs of the zodiac. The golden sun on one of the hands shows the location of the Sun relative to the Earth's orbit around it. In this photo, it is on the symbol ♌︎ (for Leo); this image was captured on August 1st). The darker globe on another hand shows the phases of the Moon.
The four figures flanking this clock dial represent four things to avoid/fear. From left they are Vanity, Greed, Death, and Lust.

On the morning of December 6th, 1917, the most violent man-made explosion before the atomic bomb rocked Halifax harbour, in Nova Scotia, Canada, when a Norwegian vessel collided with a French munitions ship. The blast completely flattened everything within 800 meters, sent shrapnel flying for several kilometers, and started a tsunami that demolished whole communities. More than 1900 people died that day, and 10,000 suffered horrific, life-long injuries. Flying glass from windows throughout the city, blinded thousands as they stood watching the fire moments before the big explosion. The stories of both tragedy and heroism are plentiful, and are fascinating to learn about. The hands on the clock at city hall remain permanently fixed at 9:04:35 AM; stopped at the exact moment of the explosion.

The Clock Tower in Venice is an early Renaissance building on the north side of the Piazza San Marco, at the entrance to the Merceria. It comprises a tower, which contains the clock, and lower buildings on each side. It adjoins the eastern end of the Procuratie Vecchie. Both the tower and the clock date from the last decade of the 15th century, though the mechanism of the clock has subsequently been much altered. It was placed where the clock would be visible from the waters of the lagoon and give notice to everyone of the wealth and glory of Venice.

Genesis 11:4
Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves; otherwise we will be scattered over the face of the whole earth.”
