Bukittinggi, West Sumatra, Indonesia.The clock's diameter is 180 centimeters, the base's dimension is 13 metres in length and 4 metres wide, and it stands 26 metres tall.
One unique feature of the clock is that it uses the IIII for the number 4 instead of its traditional Roman Number IV. Given its iconic appearance, the structure is a frequent object of local souvenirs. It is imprinted on apparels, painted, used as a sculpting model, and so forth. As of January 2008 it cost 50000 rupiahs (around US$ 5) to enter the tower. Its plaza usually serves as the centre of New Year celebration in Bukittinggi for thousands of visitors to the city. Now, visitors are not allowed to enter the tower anymore, for preservation reasons.
