According to the press service, the reason for the stoppage was the natural wear of the mechanism: "One of the gears has worn down, which led to the problem with the movement of the hands."
To restore the clock to working condition, a complete replacement of the mechanism on both dials will be required. At the same time, as noted by "Kyrgyztelecom," there is also significant wear on the side of Chuy Avenue, and although the mechanism continues to function, it needs updating.
Currently, the company has already purchased the necessary mechanisms and is carrying out the replacement work. After all procedures are completed, the clock will once again show the correct time.

The tower clock in the center of Bishkek was installed in 1984 during the construction of the OJSC "Kyrgyztelecom" complex. The clock mechanism was a gift from Armenia as a sign of friendship during Soviet times. The chimes sound every hour from 08:00 to 21:00, and the anthem of Kyrgyzstan is heard at 07:58, while the melody "Emgek marshy" plays at noon.
