I did a Google Maps streets walk of Seattle before visiting there in June 2023 to get acquainted and feel the vibes out there.
I bumped into this amazing public corner clock at the intersection of 3rd Avenue and Stewart Street.
It was installed by Bergman Luggage.

On reaching Seattle, I was eager to talk to the owners or managers of the luggage shop and know more about the clock, its history, and any interesting stories about its origins or the intention to install it.
I walked over to the place only to discover that the business had closed permanently.
For a clock tower enthusiast, this was sad to know, and I returned to the hostel with a heavy heart.
Anyway, I lingered there for a while and took a few photos across the street.
The special thing about this clock was that it was installed at 45° at the corner providing the view to people on both streets.

You @TusharSuradkar are right because that clock in the corner, installed at 45 ° providing the view to people on both streets in Seattle,
is a piece of art in my point of view.

Oh… That’s a sad story… With this Heritage Clock, they could have rented out… Right, dear @TusharSuradkar ?
I opened the street view link also - very well captured…(Not like the Indian images)!
Your list of Clock towers is very interesting! How do you locate these? I’m interested to learn it.
Thanks for sharing this.
Regards with greetings for a great day…

The idea of setting up the street clock at a 45 degree angle is a great one. Such should be the observational vision of a local guide. @TusharSuradkar Dada I learned a lot from you.

Sounds sad, you do not got more information about clock tower @TusharSuradkar dada.
The corner clock looks unique & gives maximum coverage to the clock.
From any side you will be easily able to see the clock maybe that’s why they placed the clock in 45°.
