World Clock, World clock in Alexanderplatz, Germany
The ten-meter-tall steel and aluminum structure displays time zones for 148 cities through a rotating cylinder system with multiple faces.
The World Clock was constructed in 1969 as part of an extensive renovation project that transformed Alexanderplatz into a space four times larger.
The clock incorporates a mechanical representation of the solar system with steel rings and spheres that complete one rotation every minute.
Located near multiple transportation connections, the World Clock functions as a central meeting point for both residents and visitors in Berlin.
Engineers updated the city names on the clock in 1997, adding Tel Aviv and Jerusalem while modifying others to reflect their post-Soviet designations.
