Saunders' first steam clock was built in 1977 as a tourist attraction for the renovated Gastown district of Vancouver. Although the clock is now owned by the City of Vancouver, funding for the project was provided by contributions from local merchants, property owners, and private donors. Incorporating a steam engine and electric motors, the clock displays the time on four faces and announces the quarter hours with a whistle chime that plays the Westminster Quarters.

Leave a Comment It is literally just a clock.
I took my friend here who was travelling and have heard all about it. He stayed for 5 min took a few pics and we left.
Why is it so famous?
