Description

With a face measuring 43 metres in diameter, a minute hand 22 metres long and a facade decorated with 98 million glass mosaic tiles covered in gold leaf, the Makkah Royal Clock in Saudi Arabia is the world’s largest solar-powered tower clock. Even at night, you can still tell the time up to 10 kilometres away.
