Two famous clock faces - On the left, the ornate clock face of the New York Metropolitan Life Insurance Buidling, completed in the 1900s, on right, the clock face of Big Ben, part of the Palace of Westminster, completed in the 1850s.

The clock faces are emblematic of the era in which they were designed and the country they are located in.
