The most unusual clock shown here is Hampton Court astronomical clock built around 1540. It tells among other things the hour, month, day of month, position of sun, number of days elapsed since beginning of year, and phases of the moon. Another unusual clock set in grass is (or was) in Versailles near the train station, although I don' know if was designed to tell time. A third clock in Hamilton Bermuda tells wind direction rather than time. The remaining clocks are in: 1) Hoboken, NJ Lackawanna tower, 2) Bermuda docks tower, 3) Halifax, Nova Scotia hill tower, 4) city hall in Savannah, 5) Chelsea Market in NY, 6) my kitchen, and 7) one no longer remembered location.

When I saw your post, I was hoping to see an old shot of a clock that I saw in NY in 1980. I was visiting the Twin Towers and I remember an enormous pendulum clock in one of the foyers. The clock face was on the floor and the pendulum was hung from way up high. As the world rotated, the pendulum maintained its path and the clock face rotated under it, with the pendulum pointing to the chaplets and indicating the time. I have researched this but can find no record of it.
Does anyone remember this, and if so, do you have any photos of it, or know where I may find any?
