Unique watches with three dials in Ternopil were originally placed on one of the towers of the ancient Dominican church. The church was erected at the end of the 18th century under the auspices of the famous Polish philanthropist Jozef Potocki.
During the Second World War, as well as with the coming to power of the Bolsheviks, the architecture of the church suffered greatly, the towers of the temple were destroyed, and together with them the unique clock with three dials disappeared without a trace. According to historical documents, the clock was black, and had a diameter of 160 cm. Modern watches have a somewhat modernized look: in the evening they are highlighted, and in the daytime a good white background provides good visibility, which was chosen for better viewing of the movement of the shooters.
Restoration of the clock was occupied by Lviv watchmaker Alexei Burnaev, who developed an exact copy of the old mechanism, based on drawings that have survived since those times.

The architectural complex of the Dominican Church in Ternopil is a magnificent example of the Ukrainian baroque. Built at the turn of the XVIII century, the temple was repeatedly modernized and rebuilt, nevertheless preserving the integrity of the architectural complex. To this day it is considered the peak of Ukrainian Baroque architecture. One of the key elements of the composition of the temple was the clock that was placed on the central facade of the building. They served as a compositional center, uniting two frontal towers. The clock was set in 1896. Since then, they have been relentlessly walking, measuring the beating of city life. But in 1944, as a result of military operations, the Dominican cathedral received considerable destruction, during which hours were destroyed.
Since the fifties of the last century, a major reconstruction of the cathedral began, but unfortunately, the clock with three dials have not been restored. This only engaged now - public activists and city authorities, agreed to help in the restoration of the clock.
