I 1988 fejrede Bogense by 700 års jubilæum, og i den forbindelse blev der startet en indsamling blandt borgerne til en gave til byen. Gaven skulle være et klokkespil i Bogense bestående af 18 klokker.

Hoveddonator var Aksel og Bertha Damgård, og også Fyns Amt gav tilsagn om en gave til Byen på 50.000 kr. Resten af beløbet blev indsamlet blandt borgerne.

Klokkerne er leveret af Koninklijke Klokkengieterij Petit & Fritsen B.V. i Holland gennem ingeniørfirma Kevest A/S, Odense. Den 2. juli 1988 indviede Hendes Majestæt Dronning Margrethe II klokkespillet. Ved indvielsen blev der spillet en kort fanfare - Fantasi over Kong Kristian stod ved højen mast.
