Many heritage buildings in Visakhapatnam, particularly those in the Old Town, had clock towers to indicate the time of the day. Those born in the 1960s and 1970s would remember looking at the clock towers at the King George Hospital (KGH) and the Kurupam Market building while passing by them in their childhood. There is a clock tower at the Maharajah Vikrama Deo College of Science and Technology at Andhra University.
This clock was visible only to those inside the campus, as other buildings and trees on the university campus got in the way for people to see from the outside.
