The clock face of St. Peter Church, the largest in Europe, in Zurich

A close-up of the famous clock of St. Peter's Church in Zurich shows the largest church clock face in Europe. With a diameter of 8.7 meters and golden hands measuring 3.7 and 4 meters respectively, this clock is one of the city's most recognizable symbols. The black dial with golden Roman numerals stands out against the stone bell tower. The clock was installed in 1538 and has since marked time for Zurich citizens. The green spire of the bell tower rises above the dial, crowned by a weather vane. This architectural detail represents the precision and reliability that have become distinctive characteristics of Swiss culture.
