The Zytglogge tower is a landmark medieval tower in Berne, Switzerland. Built at around the turn of the 13th century, it has served the city as guard tower, prison, clock tower, center of urban life and civic memorial.

The word Zytglogge refers both to the tower, and to its famous clock, the current movement dating dating from 1530 and made by Kaspar Brunner on a forge in the very room where it still stands today.
