Because of her "failed" wedding. Her whole wedding was planned out, but the man that was "suppose" to marry her didn't show up at all, until "twenty minutes to nine," at 8:40 AM, she received a letter from him, stating that he will not marry her. And from that day, Miss Havisham stops her clocks at 8:40.
