Nelson Mandela Square’s newest architectural addition
SANDTON – The 5.75-metre-long clock weighing 500kgs is situated directly behind the Nelson Mandela statue overlooking the square.
The largest clock in the southern hemisphere has found a home in Sandton’s very own Nelson Mandela Square.
The 5.75-metre-long clock weighing 500kgs is situated directly behind the Nelson Mandela statue overlooking the square.
“It is a welcome addition to Ospace, complementing its nature of sophistication, and delighting visitors with its ambient lighting and delicate chimes,” said owners Liberty Group Limited and Liberty Two Degrees in a statement.
Developed in 1994, the square has since become an infamous, iconic lifestyle destination in the city. “It’s [a] physical space to provide visitors with an unparalleled environment of beauty and serenity through which to indulge.”
The clock includes a diamond hour piece, translucent numerals with satin black and gold finishes, and LED lighting to create a unique halo, illuminating the clock at night.
