Little Ben is a mechanical clock that chimes every quarter hour with the Westminster chime and also strikes on the hour for each hour, even when the app is not running. If you look closely you can even see the minute hand move as the pendulum and escapement make the clock tick. Slide your finger or tap a button to turn On / Off and set the volume level of the quarterly chimes, hourly strikes, and the ticking.
