Centenary of the chiming of the Clock Tower Bell

The Tsim Sha Tsui Clock Tower, formerly the Kowloon-Canton Railway Clock Tower, was built in 1915. The Bell of the Clock Tower which began service in 1921 and ceased operation in 1950, has a history of 100 years.
The Bell's chime will be brought back and report the time via a digital bell system synchronised with the web clock of the Hong Kong Observatory, sounding hourly every day between 8am and midnight.
To celebrate and commemorate the centenary of the chiming of the Clock Tower Bell, the Leisure and Cultural Services Department held the Chiming Ceremony today (December 9) at the viewing deck of the Hong Kong Cultural Centre Piazza. On this memorable date, the sound of the Clock Tower Bell was brought back at 6pm to report the time.
