... since every church here has its own clock. Clocks on non-ecclesiastic buildings are rarer, though. In the time before clocks and watches became affordable for the general public, only the townships themselves could afford big clocks, and presented the...
Wow. These are beautiful Clocks...
and they look sophisticated. The first one appears to include moon phases. I am no expert but I think it is four to two on both Clocks. The only other answer would be nine after eleven! Excellent puzzle :) Regards Edward
Quite some in Paris...
but I must recognize that miniaturization is something I like in watches. Here is a picture inside the Orsay Museum in Paris (which was a train station before). Cheers, Mark ...
This is a very unique setting.....
and I really like it ! I agree Clocks are beautiful but nothing surpasses a complicated wristwatch with accuracy to +/- one second a day;) Regards Edward
Not in my city, sadly, but I've found these in my travels
Please bear with me if I have failed to get the details quite right, or they are not exactly "tower" PARIS LONDON SCOTLAND JERSEY (ok, not a very tall tower; not a very complicated clock. But ...) Copenhagen ITALY (highest church in the Alps, not a very c...

daylight. Such a worthy collection of Clocks and a good documentation of your travels! Cheers Edward
On the way to work
Hi Here's a quick shot of one I pass most days on the way to work Cheers JML ...
Nice Clock but I can not figure out the City?.....
Somewhere in Europe? Best regards Edward
Tower Clocks Far from Home
I have some tower clocks nearby but no photos. Perhaps some "tower" clocks far from home will suffice? Where else but the Land of Clocks....Switzerland. Ch. Chillon One-hand Clock for Swiss Austerity Lausanne City of the Olympics and Peaceful Dove Geneva ...
Thank you kindly MTF.....
not only the Clocks are pretty but the European Architecture also -which aside from Montreal and a couple of other cities here- is widely missing as well as missed;) Regards Edward

La Torre Dell orologio, in Venezia. ...
Thank you Nicolas for joining in.....
with a photo of one of the most famous historical objects. Really Venice is worth a visit! Regards Edward
It is such a strong place! I am lucky to go nearby Venice each summer.
1 hour and a half by train... Nothing... Always a charm. Best, my friend. Nicolas
Venice to you Nicolas is like ....
Niagara Falls to me :) I visited it countles times! (Just a few hours drive.) And an interesting fact obout it is that each time the falls make a great impression, one just want to visit again. Regards Edward
Well, fom Paris, it is a bit far, but from Trieste, it is quite close AND
Always Worth it. Loosing youself in the small " canali " is the right way to discover Venice, and to feel its magic ambiance. Best, my friend. Nicolas
... which was restored by Bulgari, if I recall correctly ...
IN fact, it would have been a great sign if UN had financed the clock's restoration. However, I fear it would have surpassed the small company's marketing resources by far. Marcus
Not from home..

Thank you SF_C for this wonderful....
photographs! Loved every single one of the clocks showed. Best Edward
in my city there is a huge cathedral
... with a rather simple display. Neverless an impressive building from the 14th, 15th and 16th century in the heart of Antwerp. It took 169 years to build. But just a half an hour drive and you'll witness this beauty full of complications in the city of ...
Thank you kindly for sharing....

Not a tower clock but a floral one...
