Nope - not in Switzerland...

Embarrassingly, after asking the question I decided I ought to check my facts, and apparently I was wrong on the Colgate clock. The Duquesne Brewery clock in Pittsburgh is bigger... (18m versus 15m)

That means all the people in New York who used to tell me the clock on the other side of the Hudson was the biggest in the US were talking baloney.

Sorry to have stalled the thread. Feel free for someone to move us along and ask a different question...

Its not uncommon for towns and cities to claim the biggest or the best of something only to find out that is wrong. The liver building clock being an example.

Which country are we looking at ? Russia, Sweden, Germany, Spain ? I'm sure it will strike a chime with somebody if we can narrow down the area.

France is the country...

If its France its probably a station clock somewhere as they seem to be the one building that they go OTT on but I don't know.

Drew is the expert on France, well after Benny of course

Ok let's have a Maserati question for a change

What was the last racing car to be built by the Maserati brothers?
