This clock was designed for the modest inhabitants of Amiens who needed to know the time.

In a will dated February 12, 1892, Louis Dewailly, Mayor of Amiens, bequeathed 25,000 francs to the town to build the clock. At the time, it was intended for the modest inhabitants of Amiens who needed to know the time. In 1953, the clock was dismantled and even looted, with only the statue of Marie sans chemise spared. It was finally reinstalled on rue des Sergents and on the square commonly known as Marie-sans-chemise, and is now the pride and joy of all Amiens, with the cathedral in the background!

At the chance of your walking in Amiens, you can't miss the place and notice this "bizarre" clock and very photogenic clock, many bars and restaurants in its surroundings.

La "Marie sans chemise" d'Amiens (effectivement, il manque une chemise à la demoiselle ;) est un monument d'Amiens original. Situé en centre ville, il vaut le coup d'oeil

Nommée "Marie sans Chemise" par les Amiénois cette réplique de l'horloge d'origine a pris sa place sur la place du même nom en 1999 , l'originale se trouvait autrefois place Gambetta.

L'horloge est un point d'intérêt de la ville intéressant lorsque l'on visite Amiens à pied.
