CHINNA MANI KUNDU /PETITE TOWER CLOCK
Before the middle of the twentieth century, most people did
not have watches.
Prior to the 18th century even home clocks were rare.
The first clocks didn't have faces, but were solely striking
clocks, which sounded bells to call the surrounding community
to work or to prayer.
They were therefore placed in towers so the bells would be
audible for a long distance.
Clock towers were placed near the centre of towns and were
often the tallest structures there.
As clock towers became more common, the designers realized
that a dial on the outside of the tower would allow the
townspeople to read the time whenever they want
