Big Ben vs Smartrace for Scalextric ARC

During 2009, the UK Parliament celebrated the 150th anniversary of its world famous Clock Tower, Great Clock and Great Bell. The name Big Ben is often used to describe the tower, the clock and the bell but the name was first given to the Great Bell. 1859 was the beginning for all three elements when the Clock Tower was completed, the Great Clock started on 31 May and the Great Bell’s chimes were heard for the first time on 11 July. Have your iPhone, iPad and Apple TV display the time of day in style. Options include: adding a digital clock display showing a seconds hand having it make a tick-tock sound having it chime every quarter of an hour and toll on the hour (the chiming and tolling sounds will play even when the app is not open, so long as your device is not muted and you allow notifications in the General Settings for Big Ben) having it chime only on the hour instead of every quarter of an hour having a "Quiet Hours" period during which no chimes will play Pointless? Maybe. Decorative? Certainly. NB If you wear an Apple Watch, make sure you turn off Mirror iPhone Alerts From: BigBen or you will not hear the chimes. Thanks to all who left comments and suggestions for improvement.
