Parts of an historic clock that is being restored for display in the food court area of the Invercargill CBD redevelopment block next year. An historic Invercargill clock is undergoing restoration for placement in the food court area of the CBD redevelopment block next year. It was an external double-sided platform clock attached to the old New Zealand Insurance Company building at 53 Esk St. The master clock had a manufacturing date of May 1955, and probably arrived in the country later that year, Burton said. He suspected the main clock, visible to the public, could predate the master clock and might have been operating earlier with another master clock.
