While going on my walks around NYC I am always looking out for cool things to see, and recently i noticed there are many cool clocks all over the city so in this post I will share a couple I have come across.

This first one is in a little park on 64th and Broadway, surrounded by a little garden and some seating around it, it was pretty quiet when I was there early morning but i do wonder how busy it gets during the day

This second on is on 5th Ave has a classic Style and to me looked quite cool, but it does make me wonder with smart watches, cellphones and the likes these days I wonder how many people even notice these clocks yet alone look at them.

nice work man you are doing an amzing work god bless u:-)

I enjoy how in the first clock, the numbers are upside down as if about to fall..^_^

One way of expressing that time is gold. That no minute should be wasted. From relaxing view to the busy street of 5th Ave.

True
And yes that’s why I picked these two for the contrasts between them

Nice post.I respect you very much because you contribute to steemit.I will do activities like you.I would like to extend the steemit.

Nice clicks and those are some good clocks!

Strangely, although the digital clock on my desktop's taskbar should have been sufficient I prefer to look at the clock on the wall when I want to know the time.

I guess there are some people, like me, who still look at clocks. The time looks more real on a clock!

Actually now that you mention it at work I am the same I have a wall clock I always use to check the time but the rest if the time I check my smart watch

Funny how I have this habit at work only

I like that coz its artistic and useful!

I agree I love these stylish clocks

In such a modern and technologically advanced world it is awesome to see some retro objects. I love the ambiance these old style clocks create. Have a good weekend bud

thanks mate
You to have a good weekend

@tattoodjay of you look at the people in the photo of the second clock they’re all looking ahead or on their phones... I suspect they don’t notice the clocks or anything else really around them.

exactly I was people watching here fir a couple of minutes and I would bet not one person even noticed the clock was there

I think the clock is perfect if the photo when the sun sets or rises.
thank you @tattoodjay

They are pretty cool looking!! Do they all keep time? I used to admire a street clock near here for the longest time but it would keep breaking down and I guess maintenance gave up on fixing it after so many tries..sad..but it's still cool looking.

Most of them do, I did notice a couple that were at one stage stopped so now I do check to see and i cannot remember the last time I saw one of these clocks at a wrong time, well they all are within a few minutes of the right time

That's very good. I rarely even think to look for the time on my phone..old habits!! ;)

I at work have a wall clock that I use all the time for checking the time, but for the rest its my watch I check, seldom if ever do I check the time on my phone
