The Tashkent Chimes are one of the most recognizable landmarks in Uzbekistan’s capital, symbolizing remembrance and peace. Situated in the heart of the city, near Amir Timur Square and the city administration building, they comprise an architectural ensemble of two clock towers. The chimes were installed on May 9, 1947, on the eve of the second anniversary of Victory in World War II, in memory of the 430,000 Uzbek soldiers who did not return from the front. The initiative to create the clock came from Sergeant Ishiya (Alexander) Abramovich Eisenstein, who, during his service in East Prussia, dismantled a damaged clock mechanism from the town hall of Allenstein (now Olsztyn, Poland) and brought it to Tashkent, presenting it to the city on behalf of his regiment. The tower’s design was selected through an architectural competition, and its construction was unique for its time. The decoration was carried out by the renowned ganch carver and ornamental artist Usto Shirin Muradov. Every 15 minutes, the chimes emit a melodious sound, reminding of the heroism of the fallen and symbolizing the city’s peaceful existence. In 2009, an exact replica of the original tower was built nearby, and now two identical clock towers adorn the center of Tashkent. The Tashkent Chimes remain a popular meeting and walking spot, preserving the atmosphere of the old city and serving as a reminder of the importance of peace and memory.
