An original clock tower was built by architect John Middleton in 1847. It was a landmark for approaching ships and just beneath the clockfaces there was a little balcony for a look-out.
Although the tower had four sides, there were only three clockfaces. The clock was paid for by public subscription. Either an ironworks or a shipyard refused to contribute because it didn't want its workers clockwatching.
During a rebuild of Middlesbrough's dock either around 1870 or as late as 1903 this replacement was built. The tower doubled as a clocktower and a watertower to provide the hydraulic power to operate the dock gates and cranes. This dual use led to its shape: a bulky bottom to house the water, and a slender top for the clock.
The tower was restored in 2005 as part of the Middlehaven development.

The “Time Travels” clock by designer Katie Hatz is a timezone clock with a difference. It lets you go through the time of virtually the whole world. Comprising 24 clocks, each representing a 15-degree slice of the earth, in a 7-by-70-inch piece, the new timezone clock makes use of a color-coded system to indicate time of day in every part of the world in relation to the local time. Removing the numbers or hands, the clock features spokes, made up of the names of countries, cities, regions and territories within each time zone, radiating out from the key in the center. Now, no matter where you reside, with the Time Travels you have the liberty to know the time of any place in the world. Read more on the Design Blog
