Hudson Hawk, great idea for a thread. I plan to add some photos overtime as I get around the city as NYC is chockablock fool of classic town clocks.

How could I forget the four clocks on the old Courthouse?

This clock has been at the same corner since I believe the 1920s. It is currently a bank, but has been many stores through the years!

Very nice! They even throw in a little "roaring 20s" devil-may-care philosophy!

Don't know if this qualifies as a [whole] "town" clock, but the clock in the middle of the roundabout in the Delano District in Wichita, Kansas certainly serves the surrounding streets pretty well.

Yes! Not sure if it was on purpose, or just a careless worker with a ladder. It does hang out a lot from the building.

I was thinking of the Latin inscription at the bottom of the face. Dum vivimus vivamus means "while we live, let us live". It's pretty much the motto for hedonism.

That is great, I love it. The whole time I am watching it, I kept asking myself, is it going to have a steam whistle version of the Westminster Chimes?
