Grand Central Station Clock New York
This structure has four convex faces; each face is made purely of the highest quality precious opal. Behind the faces are lights which give the clock a warm glow and illuminate each of the faces. Brass was used to construct the solid pillar-like tower and the rounded head of the clock.
Sitting atop the clock’s head is a small point; most who casually observe the clock in passing may assume it is merely a decorative accent, but it is actually a compass. Fitted to exact precision, the compass above the clock correlates with the true north direction 100% accurately.
Because of the enormous open space in the main concourse, this clock seems to appear much smaller than it really is. The clock was completed in 1913 to honour the opening of the Grand Central Terminal, also called The Beaux Arts Terminal. Also a special memory to the history of unique Seth Thomas clocks, The Grand Central Terminal Clock was completed the same year as the 100th birthday of the Seth Thomas Company.
