A Timepiece from the Past

The first clock at St Martin Church in York, England was installed in 1668. The version (below) of the Little Admiral was created in 1779 and the bracket was added in 1856. Also notice the golden face of Father Time. The timepiece was extensively restored in 2012. Since then, its eight bells chime on the hour and quarter hour.

At Chowmahalla Palace, Hyderabad, India stands the tall clock tower, endearingly called as Khilwat Clock. This clock has been in action since past 250 years and the locals still use its time to correct their watch. An expert family of clock repairers who operates from Lad Bazaar winds the mechanical clock every week to ensure its seamless functioning.
