Nylex Clock, Clock tower near Yarra River in Richmond, Australia.
The Nylex Clock stands atop the malting storage silos, displaying both time and temperature through neon lights visible across Melbourne's skyline.
Built in 1961 by Neon Electric Signs for Nylex Plastics, the clock became a reference point during the industrial development of Richmond district.
The clock's alternating display between time, temperature, and company slogans represents the merge of commercial advertising with public infrastructure in Melbourne.
Located at coordinates -37.8296, 144.989, the clock tower sits adjacent to the Monash Freeway and serves as a navigation landmark for drivers.
The clock required 17,000 LED lights and extensive electrical cabling during its 2005 restoration, which cost approximately 300,000 Australian dollars.
