The Luneta Masonic Clock made from China replaced by a Filipino-made Le Arsi Clock

This is the Luneta Masonic Clock with 3 dial faces imported from China installed in 1998. But because of so many attempts to fix it nobody here is skilled enough to bring back its working condition. Now, it has been renovated recently and the three clocks was reduced to only one facing Dr. Jose Rizal monument. The other two was replaced by the logo of the Masons.

Luckily, I was chosen by the contractor to build a replacement clock movement and this is 100% Filipino made clock by Le Arsi of Big Tic Clockmaker. And for that, one of my former student who is working now abroad as a watchmaker called the clock "pambansang orasan ng Pilipinas" because it is located at the kilometer zero of the country and facing our National hero Dr. Jose Rizal.



 Now this is the Le Arsi clock made to replace the China-made Masonic Clock, proudly Philippine made!!
