What is your favourite clock tower in the city?

Can you name this easily recognizable one? (best known by many recently for its inclusion in the "212 Sexy Men" perfume advertisement with the Empire State Building)

GT (212 Sexy Man?).

Con Ed will always be my favorite...I had a view of it from my first NYC apartment on E. 18th Street.
