The atomic clock by Laura_Mexico
This so called "atomic clock" in Alexanderplatz is pretty cute.... The metal sections - upper and lower - are divided into the different hour fuses and list the major world capitals that fall into each one of those fuses.... so you can know what time it is in all of those places at the same time.For example, I took this picture at about 1 PM, so Berlin was on the rightmost hour fuse showing in the picture (where the stripe in the middle is colored in orange-reddish).... it was 6 AM in Mexico, so it was on the leftmost side of the picture, within the section where the middle stripe (which contains the big numbers indicating the time) was colored in yellow. This is the section of the clock that spins slowly as the time passes by....
It was pretty fun to see this original way to indicate what the time was everywhere in the planet!As you may see, there are a bunch of people standing under the clock... it wasn't a VT meeting, they were there cause it was raining! I got wet while taking this picture.... but it was worth it, as I had never seen something like this clock! Pretty basic but ingenious!
