PA_1500 [100 points]
Exactly 26 years after installing the first space invader PA_01, Invader has placed the 1500th space invader in Paris at the top of nowhere other than Center Pompidou. This coincided with the Invader Space Station exhibition in the former Libération newspaper building near Place de la République.

This unusual automated clock is called "Defender of time" and is located in the 'Quartier de l'horloge' close to rue Rambuteau in the 4th arrondissement. Constructed in 1979 it depicts a man armed with a sword and a shield who fights, in turn, a dragon, a bird and a crab according to the hour being struck and then faces them all together at 12h00 and at 18h00. It was broken for some time before being recently repaired and given a new sword for the regular battles.

The first space invader in this quartier. The Marais has been invaded since the beginning, but this part never got one. But now it got the most appropriate space invader thinkable.

Le Défenseur du Temps (The Defender of Time) is tucked away in an passageway called Quartier de l'Horloge (Clock Quarter), near Centre Georges Pompidou. The impressive brass-and-steel mechanized clock, was designed by Jacques Monestier in 1979. Standing 4 meters high, and weighing a ton, it depicts a soldier defending the passage of time against the elements: air, earth and water.In the shape of savage beasts, they attack him every hour to the accompanying sounds of earthquakes, hurricanes and rough seas. At 2pm and 6pm, he has to face all three.
