Swiss glockenspiel
Coventry Street, West End
London, September 2015
“Two totem columns one displaying the Helvetic cantons insigna, and the other a large carillon clock composed of 23 bells, were preserved in the western section of the square that was finally renamed Swiss Court, in order to retain the Swiss heritage. The glockenspiel, redesigned and restored by the clockmakers Smith of Derby was returned in November 2011, three years after the building demolition.” (Swiss Centre, Wikipedia)
