Another jewel in the crown of Whangārei s Town Basin is a step closer with the near-completion of a world-unique rolling ball clock. The million-dollar project has been about 12 years in the making since a group of locals came up with the idea for a small rolling-ball timepiece after being inspired by a ball clock at Claphams Clock Museum.
