Note to suburban multi-unit residential building developers: For proper use of clock faces atop buildings, see City Hall, Vancouver, BC and City Hall, Moose Jaw, SK.

agreed!


Here's another good couple of examples of clock towers done right...


Old City Hall, Calgary

Old City Hall, Toronto

That said, I can't think of any examples of modern clock towers done right.

Late reply but part of the reason it's so ornate is because it's basically the entrance to North Vancouver for anyone taking public transit. The seabus terminal is right there and I've parked in the cul de sac front of that building hundreds of times waiting for my wife to cross.
