JAM GADANG
West Sumatra is famous for the city of Padang which holds tourist historical buildings, namely the Clock
Tower, The Clock Tower is a large clock tower on four sides. In the Minangkabau language, the word "Gadang"
means "big". It is locally known as Jam Gadang. The building is located in the city of Bukittings The Jam
Gadang Monument stands 26 meters high in the middle of Sabal Nan Aluth Park which is considered a
benchmark for the center point (zero point) of Bukittinggi City. The location from the city of Padang is about
72 km, the distance can be reached within 2 hours.
Based on the history of this historic building, the Jam Gadang was built in 1926. Jam Gadang was
founded by the Dutch East Indies colonial government on the orders of Queen Wilhelmina who was the
Queen of the Netherlands. This clock was a gift for the secretary (controleur) of the City of Bukittinggi (Fort de
Kock) who served at the time, HR Rookmaaker. The construction does not use an iron frame and cement, but
uses a mixture of limestone, egg white, and sand.
At Jam Gadang, there is uniqueness such as the Jam Gadang Tower Building has 4 levels. The first level
is the clerk's room, the second level is the pendulum clock. While on the third level is where the clock machine
is located and the fourth level is the top of the tower where the clock bell is placed. The bell above has
something to do with the machine that rings at certain hours. The bagonjong-shaped roof at the top of the
tower that we can now see is not the original form of the building in its early days. The early design of the
Clock Tower crest was in European style, with a statue of a rooster at the top.
