Tokat Clock Tower, Clock tower in Tokat, Turkey.

The stone clock tower rises 33 meters high with four clock faces displaying time through a mechanical system operating all quadrants simultaneously.

Sultan Abdulhamid II commissioned the construction of this tower in 1902 to commemorate his 25th year on the Ottoman throne.

The clock tower functions as a central meeting point for local residents and maintains its role as the primary timekeeper for the entire city.

Located in the Behzat district, the tower remains visible from various points throughout the city and continues to chime every thirty minutes.

A dedicated clockmaker climbs 133 steps every eight days to perform maintenance on the mechanism that has operated continuously for over 117 years.
