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?

No, everyone thinks it's the tower but it the name of the great bell.
The tower is the Elizabeth tower after being renamed for the diamond
jubilee. It used to just be called the clock tower, of the Palace of
Westminster.
