List of biggest clock faces

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The biggest clock face is a disputed title mainly due to lack of impartial and accurate measurements being widely available, and accepted rules for what qualifies as a "clock face". There are three main contenders:

The Cevahir Mall clock in Istanbul, which claims to have 3 meter high digits (which based on pictures may make the face as large as 36 meters in diameter).
The Colgate Clock which is located on the Jersey City waterfront, and faces Manhattan, which claims a diameter of 50 feet (15.24 meters).^[1]
The Flower clock, Abbasabad district of Tehran, which claims to measure 49.21 feet (15 meters) in diameter. It weighs in at 750 kg, and was installed on 7 June 2005.^[2]
