It is a well-known fact that one of Switzerland's major industries is watch making, and the L'Horloge Fleurie is a living tribute to this trade. This colorful clock, built in 1955 and located in Geneva, is 5 meters in diameter and 15.7 meter in circumference with the world's longest second hand at 2.5 meters. The L'Horloge Fleurie is elaborate in design. It is located in the Jardin Anglais and contains 6,500 plants. Each season the clock's design is changed. This is one of Geneva's most photographed attractions.
