Église Saint-Severin
The Clock
Just beneath the pipes of the Jean Ferrand organ (1748)
is the church clock which on this day was right on time.
In a church that dates back to the 13th century,
I would think that the clock has been updated
and reworked many times.
Do you think that the inner workings are digital?

Looks peaceful.
How curious to see a clock in a church, and high up in the back where it's difficult to see anyway!
Superbe prise de vue !
Could be. The whole organ and woodwork behind and above the clock is also of a much newer time then the church I think.
I like the way they surrounded it in woodwork to make it fit in. I am sure its workings are modern but the rest of it takes us back in time.
Love the photograph of what looks like a beautiful place.

I guess the only way to know would be to stand under the clock and listen for the tick-tock!
I love this shot!
Beautiful! And an interesting question!
Many congregations probably wish for such a clock.....for their ministers to consult during the service......
I might be inclined to think it's still analog as opposed to digital.
Beautiful shot!
Your angle really shows of the enormity of this church Genie. Very grand. Oh and no I don't think that the inner workings of the clock are digital but I'll bet it keeps perfect time.
«Louis» has heard the organ in this church. It has a sweet tone that is nicely scaled to this worship space.
Another of your fine detail shots you have such a genius for, Genie!
