This Jubilee Clock is located in the Isle of Man capital of Douglas. It was donated by G.W. Dumbell in 1887 as a commemoration of the Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria's reign. It is located at the foot of Victoria Street and Loch Promenade and was manufactured by Walter Macfarlane & Co. at the Saracen Works, Glasgow.
The white clock faces have black hands and Roman numerals. The 8-day clock mechanism used a weight descending in the column - originally the four clock faces were lit by small gas jets. Both mechanisms are now electrified.
