He said that people had become “completely besotted with clocks and watches”. And the supporters of this clock are different... how?

I assume so..From the article.
That’s why I don’t wear a watch and I still judge time, especially the daily prayer times from light and darkness.
“Aluna is a project which tries to connect us back to the cosmic cycle, with nature. I think that’s very important especially in the very technological age we live in.”
The project is more than a gleam in the eye of these artists and scientists.
According to Laura Williams, a number of large corporations have offered their help.

ALUNA...
Aluna is the spiritual energy that makes things happen. ... the swallows of Granada, Hindu temple chanting and beautiful Arabic singing. ...

as iconic as Big Ben I'm thinking of Tolkien's Minas Ithil (Tower of the Moon) which was taken over by the people in the eastern deserts who worshiped an evil god and renamed the place Minas Morgul (Tower of black sorcery).

"...The aim is to create a new London landmark close to the proposed Olympic stadium as a monument to a more natural way of marking time."How do they think we mark time now? Is the orbit of the moon "more natural" than than the orbit or the earth or the revolution of the earth? That's what a year is and that is what a day is.

We measure the passage of time by the earth’s rotation - in other words, by the approximate 24 hour time.
What is the point of this other than a looney art project paid for by taxpayers?

By “more natural” they mean “closer to the way Mohammad would have wanted it”.

Please put a penny in the old man’s hat
If you haven’t got a penny, a ha’penny will do
If you haven’t got a ha’penny, then God bless you!
May God bless us all.

Nature has ripped apart solar systems, exploded stars, killed more than 99% of all species living on this planet, and condemns everything that ever lives to everlasting death. Why should we respect, much less love, nature?
