List of biggest clock faces
- List of biggest clock faces
The biggest clock face is a disputed title mainly due to lack of impartial and accurate measurements being widely available, and accepted rules for what qualifies as a "clock face". There are three main contenders:
*The Cevahir Mall clock in Istanbul, which claims to have 3 meter high digits (which based on pictures may make the face as large as 36 meters in diameter).
*The Colgate Clock which is located on the Jersey City waterfront, and faces Manhattan, which claims a diameter of 50 feet (15.24 m). [ [http://www.njcu.edu/programs/jchistory/Pages/C_Pages/Colgate_Clock.htm Colgate Clock ] ]
*The Flower clock, Abbasabad district of Tehran, which claims to measure 49.21 feet (15 m) in diameter. It weighs in at 750 kg, and was installed on 7 June 2005. [ [http://www.payvand.com/news/05/jun/1045.html Tehran "Flower Clock" rivals Big Ben ] ]
