Atkinson Clock Tower, Historic clock tower in Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia.

The Atkinson Clock Tower is a 15.24-metre wooden tower on Signal Hill Road in Kota Kinabalu, built in 1905. Its square base measures 6 feet 3 inches per side, and a clock face is mounted on each side except the one facing Signal Hill. A weather vane with wind-direction initials tops the structure.

The structure was built in 1905 to honor Francis George Atkinson, the first District Officer of Jesselton who died of malaria in 1902. It survived military attacks during the Second World War and has been maintained since then.

The structure displays British colonial building styles and stands as the oldest remaining building in Kota Kinabalu. Local people gather nearby and use it as a landmark to navigate through the city.

The tower sits on a hill with good visibility of the surroundings and is easily accessible on foot. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes since access involves climbing stairs and the surrounding terrain is sloped.

Japanese machine-gun fire in World War II damaged the dial and cog of the clock mechanism, not the walls. Yick Ming Watch Dealers of Kota Kinabalu repaired it and still service the clock, a trade passed from father to son.
