In Yazd, the clock tower The Jame Mosque, one of Yazd’s most stunning tourist sites, is home to what is regarded as the city’s highest and most intricate clock tower. However, despite being constantly in the path of onlookers and visitors, few are aware of its existence.

The clock tower of the Jame Mosque in Yazd is regarded as one of the landmarks of the ancient city of Yazd. It stands directly in front of the Jame Mosque’s ancient and historic structure and is visible to most visitors to Yazd.

A Yazdi businessman brought this clock, which belongs to the Yazd Municipality, to the city about 50 years ago at the request of Hojjat-ul-Islam “Mohammed vaziri,” who repaired the Grand Mosque of Yazd.

The mayor advised that it would be best to construct a tower for the clock rather than installing it between the minarets of the Jame Mosque because two of its four faces would be obscured. Originally, the clock was intended to be installed for the Jame Mosque.

Even though this clock has deteriorated over time, it still functions properly, and every hour the sound of its bell reverberates through the streets nearby. However, because of the steps’ wear and tear and their difficulty, it is impossible to climb them without a helmet and a rock climbing rope. And for particular tourists, this innovative way to go to the top of the clock may be an attraction in itself.

However, Master Nasser Jafari, who has been in charge of repairing and maintaining the clock of the Jame Mosque for more than ten years, occasionally takes the treacherous way of mounting the clock tower without the necessity for such apparatus.

This Yazdi clock repairman claims that the Jame Mosque clock is unlike other clocks in that it is extremely complicated, even more so than the Markar clock. As a result, once the previous repairman, who was quite old, passed away, no one took on the duty for it.

He lists the high precision of the clock, the fact that it has two tunes for the bell and a large bell, and the fact that despite being old, the Jame Mosque clock’s massive bell still reverberates several blocks away. The ringtone can play two separate tunes, however just one song from years ago is now being played
