Laima Clock, Street clock at Freedom Monument intersection, Latvia
The Laima Clock stands at a central intersection in Riga, displaying time while featuring the name of a local chocolate manufacturing company.
Built in 1924 to help workers manage their schedules, the clock received its current name in 1936 when the Laima confectionery company added their branding.
The clock functions as a central meeting point in Riga where people gather for social occasions, business meetings, and public events throughout the year.
Located between Old Town and the Centre district, the clock provides accurate time through a mechanism connected to the University of Latvia Astronomical Observatory.
During December 2017, the clock underwent a renovation costing 106,000 euros, adding musical capabilities to mark specific times of the day.
