The most famous clock in the world ...on your desktop.
WARNING: The development of this widget by me is OVER. Some parts of it or the whole widget may be broken. I cannot remove my widgets, broken or not, once they are uploaded thanks to awesome Opera Software policy ("No, you can't delete your own widgets"). So there you go.
Also from now on my code and graphics in this widget is released into public domain.
***
The most famous clock in the world.
Now you can put it on your desktop 
Version 2.0 changes:
- better and more accurate look
- new awesome "wireframe" skins
- with sound enabled Big Ben sound is played every hour (unfortunately sound doesn't work in a zipped widget, unzip the widget and open config.xml file in Opera if you want to hear it)

What you are looking at is St. Steven's clock tower.

Always wanted me a personal Big Ben.
Very e-penislike.

Big Ben is a super piece of widgetry.
How about the clock at Grand Central Station, NY next? And a cuckoo clock? I have a blog with clocks for NY, London and Basel time zones. I'd love to be able to place Big Ben on it (along with the other two I mentioned).
Can Big Ben be incorporated in a Blog?

To have access to the "Application Data" folder you have to go to the Explorer bar... Tools->Folder Options ->View and click in "Show hidden files and folders" and confirm with "Ok".
Good Luck!!!

Open Opera, then click File->Open. Browse to the folder where you've extracted the files. Select "XML" from "Files Of Type" at the bottom of the Open dialog box and select the "config.xml" file.
When you open this file, it will install the Big Ben widget with the sound.

An elegant, handsome widget. Thank you! I am baffled at some of the lukewarm responses you have received above. This is a work of great beauty. It has a function, of course: it tells the time. But even if it did not, I would still have it on my desktop. It is a beautiful object you have created for us.
Can we expect more widget art from you? The pyramids of Egypt? An Eiffel Tower wrapped in Christmas lights? A decorative fountain? Topiary trees that serve no purpose except to make our desktops beautiful and intriguing?
Many thanks,
Stefan
