C is for Clock

These are three of the ten public clocks commissioned by the city council of Bucharest at a cost of nearly Euro 100K each as part of their plan to revitalize the city center. 



 Bucharest, 2011

C is the letter of the week at Jennie's Alphabe-Thursday.

    They're beautiful, Francisca. The price seems a little high, but I know nothing about public clocks. A very lovely choice for the letter C.

    I like the look of these clocks as they seem to fit in with the architecture of the city.

    Very nice photos and I guess 100 K Euros is a lot! I'm wondering how much it would be in American dollars. Those sure are fancy, but beautiful clocks.

    I especially love the first one, but 100,000 euros each? Eek.

    Hello, Francisca! Hope you are well.

    Does their cost mean they are well made and will last for a long time.

    I am really a freak when it comes to clocks. I simply must have the EXACT time for every clock in my house! Thanks for a most interesting post!

    Even more than the clocks, I like the windows and reflections in the last photo.

    Very classy clocks! I like how you captured them in your photos, Francisca! I never have a watch so having these clocks to show the time is wonderful :D

    It's an interesting way of revitalising a city and they all have Roman numerals. I suppose that's a classier look, really:-)

    They are beautiful clocks but I do think Bucharest have many other areas that could do with €300k. Not sure that was a wise decision on their part

    I like the clocks...but 100K Euros per tick-tock sounds a bit excessive...perhaps they are quality clocks and quality does not come cheap?

    Now, it's time for me to go...
