Happy 153rd Birthday, Big Ben! Our watch valuation experts believe it’s impressive he’s still ringing after all these years. His tower clocks in at 316 feet (96 m) tall (note- Big Ben is the clock’s bell, not the clock tower itself). He’s survived London’s World War II blitzes and continues to stand the test of time. He’s still popular, too – Big Ben was rated as the United Kingdom’s favorite landmark in 2008.
