Message from Sebastian Breuninger

The Gastown Steam Clock in Vancouver, British Columbia is a quirky timepiece that combines Victorian charm with modern technology. Built in 1977, it's one of only a few working steam clocks in the world. Despite its steamy appearance, the clock's actual workings are powered by an electric motor hidden from view. Every quarter-hour, the clock puts on a show with whistles and steam blasts, making it a must-see attraction for tourists and locals alike.
