Chicago TIME - 1986

Dating circa 1926, the Father Time clock situated at the Northeast corner of the iconic Jewelers' Building in Chicago (35 East Wacker Drive) is without a doubt, the most beautiful clock in the city. The Jewelers' Building is a 40-story historic landmark facing the Chicago river. The building was completed in 1926 and it was once considered the tallest building in the world located outside of New York City. The building was originally conceived for the city’s diamond merchants and fitted with a central car elevator that could lift cars as high as the 22nd floor in order to reduce the chances that its tenants would be mugged walking between their cars and their offices. According to the Smithsonian American Art Museum's Inventories of American Painting and Sculpture database, the bronze base of the Father Time clock weighs eight tons and it was a gift presented by the Illinois based Elgin Watch Company to the Chicago Jeweler's Association.

"The Small Skyscraper"

The popularly called Small Skyscraper was built in 1939 according to the project by a young architect Raoul Puhali, who was also the commissioner. The balconies particularly contribute to the attraction of the building, mitigating the sharp angle of the ground; they visually elongate it and with their exchange of light and shadow, they provide a special rhythm to the skyscraper. Today still in full function, it is considered as one of the jewels of Modernism in Rijeka.
