NK clock, Neon clock at Nordiska Kompaniet department store, Stockholm, Sweden
The NK clock measures 7 meters in diameter and features the NK logo in green on one side with a red clock face on the opposite side.
The clock was installed in 1939 on the Stockholm Telephone Tower before being relocated to the NK building's roof in 1964 after a fire damaged the original structure.
The NK clock represents a period of technical innovation in Stockholm, marking the emergence of neon signage technology and modern retail development in the city center.
The clock rotates at four revolutions per minute and stands 87 meters above street level, making it visible from multiple locations throughout central Stockholm.
The four-ton timepiece survived a severe fire in 1952 that destroyed much of the telephone tower structure beneath it, yet remained fully functional.
