Former Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos (Jeff Bezos) is behind the world's biggest clock. The clock is being built in a mountain owned by Bezos in western Texas.

According to reports, the idea was put forward in 1995 by computer scientist and inventor Danny Hillis. The clock is designed to move forward once a year, the pointer of the century goes forward every 100 years, and the cuckoo that tells the time comes out to tell the time every 1000 years.
