Wall Clock

A clock tower is a tall structure that typically houses a clock. These towers often serve as landmarks and are usually found in town squares, public buildings, or churches. Clock towers have been built in various architectural styles, ranging from Gothic and Renaissance to modern designs. Key features of a clock tower include: 1. **Clock Face**: Usually large and prominently displayed, often on multiple sides, to be visible from a distance. 2. **Chimes or Bells**: Many clock towers include mechanisms for ringing bells or chimes at set intervals, often on the hour. 3. **Height**: They are typically tall to ensure the clock is visible from a wide area. 4. **Mechanism**: The internal clock mechanism can be mechanical, electrical, or electronic, depending on the era in which the tower was built. Famous examples of clock towers include Big Ben in London, the Prague Astronomical Clock, and the Sather Tower (Campanile) at UC Berkeley.
