Conciergerie clock in Paris - a photo on Flickriver

            Its pretty amazing that people have been getting the time from this clock since the mid fourteenth century . I have an image of  Michel de Montaigne, Victor Hugo, Napoleon, Marie Curie,Picasso and Marcel Proust checking the time on their way to  important meetings in Paris
The beautiful gilded clock is hanging on the Clock Tower of the Conciergerie. It is situated at the junction of Quai de l’Horloge and Boulevard du Palais in the 1st arrondissement of Paris. The Conciergerie clock was the first exterior public clock in France
The Clock Tower was built between 1350 and 1353. In 1371 the original clock was placed on the tower. In 1585, the clock was enhanced by Germain Pilon who added the gilded decorations . Which include a multicoloured face with allegories of the Law and Justice framing the  clock.

The clock was damaged during the French Revolution and it was not until 1849 that clockmaker Lepaute restored the clock to its present glory
