MONUMENT CLOCKS - for towers, bell-towers, other buildings
Mankind in all ages has studied the way of measuring and indicating the passing of time. The introduction of the mechanical clock in Europe towards the end of the thirteenth century brought about a historic turning point in the measurement of time.
Mechanical clocks spread rapidly and were soon fitted with mechanisms for chiming the hours. According to a report of that time, in Milan in 1335 the church of San Gottardo had: “… a wonderful clock, with a great clapper that strikes a bell twenty-four times at the twenty-four hours of the day and night and thus at the first hour of the night strikes once and at the second strikes twice, and in this way distinguishes one hour from another which is the greatest service to persons of all stations in life”.
A service that is still relevant, even in our communities.
