New York Clock Tower by Versace

Donatella Versace will be renovating Manhattan's famous Clock Tower building on Madison Avenue.  The Italian designer has signed on to create 55 residential apartments, spa, club and common areas of this New York City time piece, which used to house the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. The building was built by architect Napoleon LeBrun, who fashioned the Clock Tower after the Campanila di San Marco in Venice.
