CLOCKS ON PEACE TOWER IN OTTAWA The clock faces and the initial works for Peace Tower clocks were designed in Leicester, England, by George Chesterton a senior draughtsman at Gent & Company. The works were electrically operated using a method that allowed an adjuster to change all faces at the same time. The works were revised after WW2 to an even more effective movement. George Chesterton's second son, David, emigrated to Canada in 1956 and on a visit to the tower with his three preteen children in 1969 they renamed the Peace Tower 'Our Grandfather's Clock'.
