Perhaps the most eye-catching building at Dockyard is the Clocktower with its two 100-foot towers and 3-foot-thick walls. It once housed naval administration offices.
At first glimpse, the clock on the North Tower may look as if it has lost one hand. It is actually a tide clock, and in Dockyard's naval heyday, the clock hand was set each day to indicate the time of high tide. This was helpful information to all mariners wanting to avoid treacherous reefs in the area, especially those at Dockyard who were tasked with ferrying supplies and munitions to ships in the harbour.
Today the building is known as the Clocktower Mall. Inside, spread out along cobblestone floors and between handsome wrought-iron pillars, are exciting boutiques and shops offering a vast array of items. Visit the Clocktower Mall during the season Mondays through Saturdays from 10 a.m.-8 p.m.; Sundays and holidays, hours are 10 a.m.-6 p.m.
Also at Dockyard is a branch store that features a selection of merchandise from the A.S. Cooper & Sons Ltd. family of fine stores in Hamilton. Discover ladies' fashions and accessories, gifts and souvenirs, as well as fragrances at duty-free prices. (234-4156)

At Picturesque, enjoy the work of Roland Skinner, who for 30 years has been practising his art of photographing Bermuda. His talents have resulted in a huge portfolio of landscapes, flowers, trees and architecture that is entirely Bermudian. He has a sixth sense for capturing the island's many enchantments, its changing light and natural treasures. Throughout the years he has evolved a unique style, which he attributes to having been "born amongst beauty and having the eyes to see it." His work is distinctive and this has resulted in its being featured in magazines, at exhibitions and on Bermuda coins. (234-3342, www.picturesquebermuda.com or www.rolandskinner.com)
