You're blowing out the highlights at the top end of the dynamic range of the scene as a you chase the shadow detail. Two options - either reduce the exposure to preserve highlight detail at the expense of shadows, or combine multiple exposures.
Your exposure is too long for the highlights, if you have a live Histogram when focusing adjust the EV (or even expsoure time) so that the highlights are not clipped, then recover from the shadows.
Its a little difficult and a bit of a leap of faith as your resultant image will look quite dark when pixel peeping, but in PP you should be able to recover from the shadows to get a decent image
Or take two shots and blend......
Do you mean HDR? Sorry to add confusion.Or take two shots and blend......
If I use an ND filter and say went 10 seconds do you think that would save the detail in the clock face?

Hi Dave. I think it's all been said above and i'm no expert. I would say don't over complicate things your opening image is fine apart fromt the clock and some lights maybe personel taste, so just take another photo at the same time with less shutter speed so the clock is not blown then layer it in with your software. No need for any other filters for that, your doing a good job already.
