Big Ben is the name of the Bell, not the clock (believe)
Isn't Big Ben referring to the *WHOLE* clock tower? How could you have
time with just the clock face but without the gears inside the tower?
The bell that rings the time is actually what ic called Big Ben. Over time
the term has come to mean the bell, the clock, and the tower in the
popular vernacular.
