Located in Alexanderplatz in Berlin is their World Time Clock, erected in 1969 as part of the square's redevelopment and has become a popular meeting point. It a continually rotates showing the time throughout the globe.
Weighing 16 tonnes and 10 metres tall, it features a revolving cylinder with the world's 24 time zones bearing the names of major cities in each zone. The mechanism constructed in a way which enables the current time in each zone to be read.
The clock looks quite dated now, but I loved the textures on the metal and the way that the type has been cut out.
