Watchman not your standard Swiss watch

LAUSANNE, Switzerland - Every evening, the night watchman clambers to the top of the Lausanne cathedral bell tower and gets to work: he shouts out the time each hour, keeping a six-century-old tradition alive.
The night watchman, one of the last in Europe, no longer alerts this Swiss city to fires, but he does help residents to keep track of the time.
"This is the watchman! The bell has tolled 10. The bell has tolled 10."
