About
The Flower Clock (L’horloge fleurie) sits in Geneva’s Jardin Anglais and is the city’s most photographed landmark. It is a living mosaic clock, built from more than 6,000 flowering plants that are changed each season to keep the face fresh. The 2.5 m second hand is the longest in the world, and the 5‑metre clock face showcases Geneva’s watchmaking heritage in a botanical form. Open year‑round, free to the public, it is a must‑stop for any visitor to Geneva.
