site by Aldo Javier Albinarrate devoted to a pictorial record of tower clocks around the
world. Contains much interesting information on history and restorations.
http://www.patrimoine-horloge.fr/ . A simply amazing and
pictorially rich site covering scores of the world's notable

best thing. It is, however, in French, but the photos are enough and there
is a rough translation available through Google.
