Corpus Clock

SC 109: Circles

Corpus Clock was designed by John C. Taylor and officially unveiled in 2008 by Stephen Hawking. The clock face is 1,5m in diameter, made of 24 carat gold plated stainless steel. The grasshopper/ chronophage (time eater) on top is its most distinctive feature.

As photo the second is my favorite, in the main the chronophage grasshoppersymbol makes me think that the older we get more the time seems shorter…

Gudrun replied to Xata:

Obrigada, Isabel! The chronopage looks rather forbidding- time indeed seems to be going ever faster.
