Introduction

The Flower Clock is a charming flower clock in Geneva's lakeside English Garden, a living symbol of Geneva as the 'watchmaking capital of the world.' Built in 1955, its face is planted with thousands of seasonal flowers and plants, changing color and pattern with the seasons; about five meters across, its hands move slowly above the flowers, blending Swiss watchmaking craft with gardening beauty. It has one of the world's longest second hands. Facing Lake Geneva and the Jet d'Eau, it is a must-visit landmark, often on Geneva postcards. Though small, this clock of precision and flowers embodies Geneva's city character.
