Ni-Tele Really Big Clock
The Ni-Tele Really Big Clock (日テレ大時計, Nittere Ōdokei) is a large clock and sculpture designed by Hayao Miyazaki, installed outside the second story of the Nittele Tower in Minato Ward, Tokyo, Japan. The structure, which is made entirely of hand-worked copper and steel plates, is 12 meters tall by 18 meters long and contains 32 separate moving mechanical features. This clockwork assembly performs a three-minute show a few times each day (four on weekdays, five on weekends).
Reception
Time Out Tokyo editors Matt Schley and Kaila Imada included the work in their 2019 list of the city's "best public art sculptures".
