World's Largest Clock Tower?

[HamadaLFC8]

So I don't know if any of you know this but recently they've built a MASSIVE clock tower in Makkah, Saudi Arabia (Mecca) and it just looks incredible ....
Just yesterday me and my family drove to Makkah and when you drive towards the city from Jeddah you slowly go down a mountain and you can see the clock tower from REALLY far out... it is insane...

Here's how it looks like:

You can read more about the tower here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abraj_Al_Bait_Towers) and yes, the crescent on top is completely made of gold

I knew about it and it's awesome.

That piece of gold is worth like $1,700 an ounce now!
