Big Ben, the Great Bell of the Clock Tower at the Palace of Westminster, first failed to chime on July 1, 1859, shortly after its installation. The bell cracked during testing and was subsequently recast, leading to its first chime on July 11, 1859. The clock itself has experienced various mechanical issues over the years, but the initial failure was significant in its early history.
