Himmeluret (The Clock of Heaven or The Celestial Clockwork) is a Norwegian silent film from 1925 directed by Amund Rydland and Leif Sinding. Sinding also wrote the screenplay, which is based on Gabriel Scott's comedy Himmeluret (play 1905, novella 1908). David Knudsen, Gunvor Fjørtoft, and Hjalmar Fries appeared in the main roles. Footage described as a "closeup of a naked woman" (naken kvinne forstørret) was cut from the film by censors. The film is now considered lost.
