Zurich keeps everything at a similar height and lets the towers do the punctuation. The clock face is drawn large enough to read as a clock, which is rare at this scale.

What is in the drawing

A ribbed dome on an arcaded base opens the left. Beside it stands a slim tower under a pointed cap, then a low pitched roof and a run of banded blocks ruled with their floor lines. A square tower holds the centre under a pointed roof with a round clock face cut into its front. Two slender spires follow. An onion dome rises past them, and a long building with a wide arch closes the right.

Who buys it

Bankers and consultants posted here for a year or two are the reliable buyers, and they want the office view rather than the mountains. The clock is the detail that makes it the right city rather than a generic one.

Mug or canvas

1.999 against a ceramic proportion of 2.143 means the height decides how it scales. Ink at 0.089 leaves the clock face open rather than letting it fill solid. Watch the clock when choosing: it stays a circle rather than a dot from 24 by 16 on canvas.
