As vehicles mill around the small traffic island, the clock strikes 4. The sound makes everyone look up, including the workers who have been trimming the hedges and the lawn for years. A deep melodious sound that sets up the theme for the hourly chime of the clock. The clock has once again started ticking at Secunderabad Clock Tower.
“It’s a new clock where time is synchronised with GPS. The sound is produced with an amplifier. This kind of accuracy is not possible with older mechanical clocks which require high maintenance,” informs Rohit Chugani of Ramesh Watch Company, which has installed the new clock.
