EDITORS COMMENTS
The Zimmer Tower in Lier, Belgium, once a vital part of the city's fourteenth-century fortifications, now stands proudly as a symbol of scientific innovation and local heritage. In the 1930s, astronomer and clockmaker Louis Zimmer (1888-1970), captured in this photograph, embarked on an ambitious project to build the Jubilee Clock, also known as the Centenary Clock, atop the ancient Cornelius Tower. Zimmer, a man of remarkable intellect and creativity, transformed the medieval structure into a modern marvel. The clock, a testament to his expertise in both astronomy and clockmaking, features intricate mechanisms that display the time, the phases of the moon, and the position of the sun and stars. This unique blend of history and science attracted visitors from far and wide, making the Zimmer Tower a beloved landmark in Lier. The photograph, taken in the 1950s, captures the essence of this fascinating fusion of the old and the new. The ancient Cornelius Tower, with its weathered stone walls, stands tall and proud, while the gleaming clock face and intricate gears within represent the ingenuity and vision of Louis Zimmer. The image serves as a reminder of the rich history of Lier and the enduring impact of one man's passion for science and the arts. Today, the Zimmer Tower continues to draw visitors from around the world, who come to marvel at the intricacies of the Jubilee Clock and to learn about the fascinating history of Lier and its most famous son, Louis Zimmer.
