The clock tower was added to Dolmabahçe Palace, and stands in front of its Treasury Gate on a square along the European waterfront of Bosphorus next to Dolmabahçe Mosque. Designed in Ottoman neo-baroque style, the four-sided, four-story tower stands at a height of 27 m. Its clock was manufactured by the renowned Frenchclockmaker house of Jean-Paul Garnier, and installed by the court clock master Johann Mayer. In 1979, the original mechanical clock was converted partly to an electrical one. On two opposite sides of the tower, the tughra of Sultan Abdul Hamid II is put on.
This clock tower is located between the Hassa Treasure Gate of Dolmabahce Palace and Dolmabahçe Mosque. This work, attributed to the architect Sarkis Balyan, was constructed in the years 1890-94 and opened to the public in 1895. The clocks on this tower which were brought from France contain a combination of baroque, neoclassical and empirical elements. The stone tower which measures 27 meters in height has four floors and stands on a square shaped base.
