One country over from Austria? Maybe from the Dillon family trip to Switzerland in 1901?

Rory Sherlock Pity it was a dull day - doesn't help with the clock time.

"The hourglass, sometimes with the addition of metaphorical wings, is often depicted as a symbol that human existence is fleeting, and that the "sands of time" will run out for every human life.[18] It was used thus on pirate flags, to strike fear into the hearts of the pirates' victims. In England, hourglasses were sometimes placed in coffins,[19] and they have graced gravestones for centuries." - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hourglass#Symbolic_uses

It's Bauen, in Switzerland. Streetview won't go there.

It doesn't appear to commemorate anything, though it does tell the time.

The Governor General was Tim Healy, who at least officially entered office on 6th December 1922. Sir John Simon was an English politician, whereas Lady Simon was a slavery abolitionist.

Fantastic shot

They seem to be checking the time of the sundial with their fob watches. Perhaps the sundial is new? O tempora O mores!

The Simons were regular visitors to Ireland it seems, especially around August/September. They seem to have been friends of Tim Healy's, and met with them in Dublin on a number of occasions, certainly in 1923 and 1926. 1923: archive.irishnewsarchive.com/Olive/APA/INA.Edu/SharedView...
