Bromo Seltzer Arts Tower clock gets new hands

The Bromo Seltzer Arts Tower clock will receive new hands Monday.

The hands were removed in October 2015 by Balzer Family Clock Works, a Freeport, Maine-based company that specializes in tower clock restoration. 

A failed motor rendered the hands immobile.

Crews will work from inside the building and on a swing-stage scaffold outside to reinstall the hands. They're scheduled to go back on the clock at noon Monday, and will be powered by a pendulum and gravity.

The Baltimore Office of Promotion and the Arts manages the city-owned tower.

Tower renovation, including the addition of studio spaces for artists, are expected to be complete by the summer.
