Merewether Clock Tower, Gothic Revival clock tower in Saddar Town, Pakistan.

The Merewether Clock Tower rises 102 feet high with a 44-foot square base, featuring four clock faces at 70 feet on each facade.

The tower, completed in 1892, marked the boundary between Karachi's Old Town and European sectors when entering from the Kiamari port.

Local Silawat stonemasons crafted the detailed carvings on the buff-colored Gizri stone structure, demonstrating Pakistani craftsmanship.

The tower functions as a central transportation hub at the intersection of Muhammad Ali Jinnah Road and I. I. Chundrigar Road.

The main bell weighs 300 pounds and strikes hourly, while two smaller 100-pound bells mark every quarter hour throughout the day.
