COOL CLOCKS SEEN DURING TRIP TO OSAKA/NAGOYA, JAPAN

During my recent trip to Japan, besides scouting the watches available there... I also saw some cool clocks that I would like to share.


This one is pretty cool...
It uses liquid and a myriad of tubes to tell the time.
It was awesome just looking at this one work.
When I was there, a gentleman was servicing this clock.
I have utmost respect for him and did not want to disturb him doing his work.
I would love to take a pic of him but unfortunately I did not...
This clock is located in Nagoya's Sakae Subway Station.
I believe this clock is very old... just for the record, using liquid to tell time was done here before HYT... lol


This clock while also using liquid but most likely electronically controlled by pumps and a clever computer.
As the minutes pass, the display will change and water will spout out of the respective places to make out the time in arabic numbers.
Cool...
This one is located at the Kanazawa Main Station.
Just walk out the main door... walk abit and you will see it.


This clock is quite nicely done.
The checkered background design with alternating spaces for vegetation and tiles.
This one is located in one of the main buildings around Tennoji area.
I did not take note of the retail building's name.

Well, plenty more cool stuff in Japan... well... It's Japan!!
I would be disappointed if it's not cool...
