Ni-Tele Really Big Clock, Mechanical clock in Higashi-Shinbashi, Japan
The copper and steel structure measures 12 meters in height and 18 meters in length, featuring 32 moving mechanical elements on the Nittele Tower facade.
The clock, designed by Studio Ghibli director Hayao Miyazaki and sculptor Kunio Shachimaru, was installed at the Nippon Television headquarters building in 2006.
The clock incorporates elements of Japanese mechanical engineering and artistic design through its synchronized displays of moving scenes, including cannons and blacksmiths.
Visitors can watch the three-minute mechanical performances at noon, 3 PM, 6 PM, and 8 PM on weekdays, with an additional 10 AM show during weekends.
The 20-ton timepiece functions both as a precise clock and an automated performance machine, displaying intricate movements through its copper mechanisms.
