The {{nihongo|Ni-Tele Really Big Clock|日テレ大時計|Nittere Ōdokei}} is a large clock and sculpture designed by Hayao Miyazaki, installed outside the second story of the Nittele Tower in Minato Ward, Tokyo, Japan. The structure, which is made entirely of hand-worked copper and steel plates, is 12 meters tall by 18 meters long and contains 32 separate moving mechanical features. This clockwork assembly performs a three-minute show a few times each day (four on weekdays, five on weekends).{{Cite web|url=https://slate.com/human-interest/2016/11/the-giant-ghibli-clock-is-tokyos-only-vaudeville-cuckoo-clock-steampunk-victorian-curio-cabinet-timepiece.html|title=Tokyo's Only Vaudeville–Cuckoo Clock–Steampunk–Victorian Curio Cabinet Timepiece|last=|first=|date=2016-11-24|website=Slate Magazine|language=en|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200729062721/https://slate.com/human-interest/2016/11/the-giant-ghibli-clock-is-tokyos-only-vaudeville-cuckoo-clock-steampunk-victorian-curio-cabinet-timepiece.html|archive-date=2020-07-29|access-date=2019-12-03}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.geek.com/culture/hayao-miyazaki-designed-an-awesome-clock-1680931/|title=Hayao Miyazaki Designed An Awesome Clock|date=2016-11-26|website=Geek.com|language=en-US|access-date=2019-12-03|archive-date=2019-07-19|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190719095217/https://www.geek.com/culture/hayao-miyazaki-designed-an-awesome-clock-1680931/|url-status=dead}}
