HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART

The most punctual clock tower in existence cannot even stand up straight. Ground settling and nearby tunneling have caused the massive structure to slowly tilt out of perfect alignment, creating a tiny but mathematically verified lean. While entirely safe, it proves that even meticulous engineering eventually bows to the mud below. It is basically the posh, rigid cousin of a certain famous Italian bell tower.
