The Making of Our First Tower Clock For Baguio City
On May 12, 2016 we went to Baguio City, the summer capital of the Philippines to visit the site of our first tower clock project in the City of Pines. Here you can see the big hole on the 4th floor of the under construction building that will become the new home of our clock.
After spending the night at a transient house courtesy of our client, we immediately proceeded to the site and took some measurements and pictures and talked some important things with the owner about the clock.
When we get back home, we started at once working for the clock and here it is...
Finally, here is the clock now. Running and with LED back lighting seen at night. It has an automatic day and night switch for LED, recordable melody and chime with automatic mute switch at 11pm and resumes the following morning. It uses quartz oscillator that maintains +3 minutes per year. It also uses remote control to set the time and its melody, no need to climb up the building. Now we are awaiting from the owner the exact date to install it in his building.
