Here's the truth about Big Ben: it really is big. Huge, in fact. The first time I saw the 315-foot tower, my jaw literally dropped open. Growing up in Manhattan, I was used to tall buildings. I thought gawking was for tourists. I was wrong.

I've been back to London more times than I can count and the sight of Big Ben never gets old. The legendary Gothic Revival tower stands as tall as it did in 1854 when it was first introduced to the world. Except for a few brief snags, the famously reliable clock has chimed through good times and bad, in years of peace and during the scourge of war. Today, Big Ben remains one of the most recognizable-and hardest working landmarks in the world.

In honor of the beloved London icon's 150th anniversary, we put Big Ben on a diet. Using the clock's famous 23-foot wide face as inspiration, designers at Stauer have created a scaled-down homage that would make even Her Majesty proud. The Stauer Big Ben Watch features an etched ceramic dial with black hands and markings that echo the 19th-century cast iron and opal glass design of the original. Protecting the exquisite dial is a gold-fused case that fastens with a genuine brown leather strap. Waterproof to 3 ATMs.

Every Big Ben Watch is expertly constructed using state-of-the-art, computer-controlled, machines for remarkable accuracy that may just surpass the record of the original. It doesn't matter if you're a lifelong Anglophile or you've just always wanted a British accent, here's a chance to make the most famous face in London yours! Fits wrists 6-3/4" to 8-1/4".
