Halifax Town Clock, Clock tower at Brunswick Street, Halifax, Canada.
The Halifax Town Clock features a three-tier octagonal tower with Roman numerals on four clock faces, set upon a white clapboard building.
Prince Edward, Duke of Kent, ordered the construction of this clock tower in 1800 to address timekeeping concerns among military personnel in Halifax.
The clock mechanism, numbered 371 and crafted by the House of Vulliamy in London, maintains its original components and continues operation since 1803.
Visitors can locate the clock tower by walking up Brunswick Street from the waterfront toward the Halifax Citadel National Historic Site.
The clock requires manual winding twice per week and operates through a system of three weights, gears, and a 13-foot pendulum.
