Cool astronomical clock - Shinjuku i-Land

By Muza-chan on Sep 15, 2009 | In Japan travel | 8 feedbacks »

I like clocks, I often look for them, especially when I travel. I generally prefer the rectangular ones. Of course, the travel in Tokyo was no exception. :)

The astronomical clocks are a lot more interesting, but much rarer. I found in Tokyo this cool astronomical clock, near the Shinjuku i-Land, with a delightful design by Giulio Paolini.

That sure is an interesting clock, wish I had one to put on my desk. Would be very useful to say the least. A comment on the other 2 posters, You live in the area for so long that you really don't realize it's there till someone points it out to you.
