Melbourne Central, 300 Lonsdale St, Melbourne VIC 3000, Australia
A unique piece from Seiko! We arrive on the hour and we’re presented with chimes and music from its performance. The lower piece drops down and you can see the craftsmen ship. I enjoyed this 3 minute show. I would recommend coming if your in the area, but not if you want to come only to travel to come see this. The area itself needs to be explored!
Does the clock still do the performance thingy? Because when we went, we waited for nearly an hour and there was nothing. We left disappointed. I thought it was during every hour that they have it. Or is it only between a certain timing? Nevertheless it’s a beautiful atrium with beautiful design.
While already the clock is rich and ornate in its details, it is when the chime strikes on the hour (and every hour) that truly makes the clock special.
Amazing place! Arrived exactly at 9 o’clock and got to see the clock show as it rang. The chimes and announcement made the experience even more special. The clock’s design is stunning, and the atmosphere in the shopping center adds to the charm. Definitely worth a visit!.
Marionette Watch, designed by Seiko, was given as a gift to the people of Melbourne in 1991... Seiko branding has since been removed...
