About New York, Paris, [Tablat], London, Tokyo: Time-Zoned Clock Rows

You've seen them in the travel bureaus and newsrooms, cafés and restaurants, hotels and airports. They can be reminders of home-countries left, or a sign of wecoming to comers from away. Often they are displayed merely to emphasize some sort of worldliness and snooty sophistication, the effect often very much spoiled by all those pesky big hands not being anywhere near where Sir Sandford Fleming (the Universal Time man) would wish them.

This is for those (usually) identical clocks displayed with place-names.
e.g.
San Francisco * New York * [the place you're in} * Paris * Berlin * Moscow

Or other countries.
Or time zones, regions & cities within a country.
Or comic uses of the multiple clock row..
