Clery’s clock has been a firm fixture on Dublin’s O’Connell Street since the 1920s and this iconic landmark became so popular that people began to use the phrase; “I’ll meet you under the clock”. 

In this charming Irish documentary (by the team who brought you Older than Ireland), a cast of colourful characters recount these meetings  – the romance of a first date, the joy of meeting loved ones, or the nostalgic reunion of old friends.

For young and old alike,  “the clock” could only mean one place. These heartwarming stories reinvigorate this cherished historic landmark and offer great insight into dating, sex and relationships in Ireland over the decades.
