Although the bell tower is only nine years old, the eye-catching appearance gives the bell tower a new look.

As SWNS points out, one of the clock hands appears to be still fully fixed, while the other appears to have become loose from the case.

Residents have come up with different theories trying to figure out how this happened.
SWNS said one possible theory is that a black strap on top of the clock tower broke and fell between the two hands, causing it to break further.
While the source of the problem has yet to be determined, another theory is still circulating.
