The renewed interest in street clocks has often
resulted in the "lipstick on a pig" phenomenon, where
elegant, vintage-style clocks are installed in otherwise ugly,
uninviting auto strips. But Victoria's famous European ambiance
is the perfect setting for these clocks. Here, they still appear
as a natural extension of the city's furniture, just as they were
when first installed more than a century ago.
