The Floral clock at Marina Bay. Jsut one clock. Many hotels worldwide have multiple clocks behind reception to rmind you of the time at home, or where you are travelling on business. 

The local clock (contrasting with the different time you might still be on, or will be going to) reminds you to reset your watch. To be on time for your flight or onward travel.
