Special characters and Bukittinggi, West Sumatra has a unique history and travel history. Perhaps the decorations in Gadang Jam. During the Dutch colonial period, the ornament-shaped clock, and rounded at the top is the statue of a rooster.

During the Japanese occupation, the number of hours has become a jewelry pagoda. While in the period after independence, ornamennya shape changed with the return of the traditional house gonjong Padang.

Today's figures also has its own uniqueness. Data on the number four is often written in Roman IV, but the show Jam Gadang IIII.

Jam Gadang the tower, visitors can see a panorama of the city of Bukittinggi is composed of mountains, valleys and the construction of lines in the middle of my town to be missed.

Built entirely at the expense of achieving the 3000 Gulden adjustments and repairs from time to time. While in the Netherlands and was built in the shape of the roof and permanent rounded during the Japanese chicken jantan.Sedangkan changed again in the shape of pagodas, and after the independence of the variation Minangkabau traditional house.

Each day, hundreds of people tried to Gadang Jam. It amatiran photographer who sells balloons, and even find a lot of car (public), which belongs to other tourist destinations of Bukittinggi.

"I'm Gadang always brings a blessing to us every day to work as an editor and seller balloon photos here. Therefore, it is one day pump Minang hours, "said Afrizal, an amateur photographer from the daily Gadang.

To reach this place, tourists can benefit from a landline. From the town of Bukittinggi, Padang, travel can be more or less within two hours of travel by public transport. When you reach the town of Bukittinggi, travel can be resumed using the transport to the city, the location Jam Gadang.

Regards, may be at odd hours on 26 meters. In addition, it is stored in the form, because the clock does Gadang rounded shape with a diameter of 80 centimeters, in the basement of the ball
m baseline measurement of 13 x 4, as a monument or monuments. Because of the size, the other day of this dependence, it is very good as Jam Gadang which means a great day.

Even if there is not strange when I saw some Roman Gadang clock. But trying to detail the number of Roman four. I saw something moving away from the handle. Correctly, enter the number four a symbol of Roman IV. But even Gadang few rows of four (IIII). The drafting of a patron outside the Roman numerals, must be covered at the moment is still a mystery.

But a single mistake clock Gadang even create more "ON" and check all the movements (accident) and know memperhatikannya. Even more extraordinary, and sometimes the question arises whether the old and the old boss or errors and / or different. With a variety of information in society, the number four is interpreted as an odd number of victims who become Tumbala during development. Or to suggest that there are four carpenters make jam Gadang workers died several hours after their completion. Rational, because the days are made of materials of cement mixed with egg white.

If there are errors in the evaluation study IV, of course, always be possible to adapt the list of secrets. But at least it seems necessary.
Hours as a gift from the Queen of Netherlands Supervisor (City Secretary), and created hours of Uncle Sam U.S. experts, the possibility of error is very low. However, it leaves a lot of secrets confidential.

However, it should be more, the clock motor Gadang also believes that there are only two in the world. Kembarannya course that is currently installed on the Big Ben in the United Kingdom. Machines operating by hand by the author (butler known) name Brixlion Forman.

Now back to Roman numeral four is the number four is odd by the author, who also does not know. But he should also know that this time the first stone Gadang the child was six years old, son
Tower controller first major manufacturer, who has served in Holland, where Bukittinggi.

Even in the Dutch colonial period, during peak hours Gadang megahnya associated with the statue of a rooster. However, when the Netherlands and the turnover less kolonial took place in Indonesia to Japan, receives the mountain-shaped pagodas. In addition, when the period of independence, on top of the roof of the pagoda style bagonjong replace traditional house Padang
