Train station clocks

Station clocks - Swiss reliability

The station clock changed the world

The station clock changed the world from North America. Train travel was still very epensive in the USA around 1840. Since then, the mail has been transported by train. For those waiting for the mail and travelers, however, the up to 70 different regional times in the USA were a major annoyance. In order to bring some order to this jumble of different times, and the travelers did not have to be completely confused, they started to attach several clocks of the different times at train stations. The station clock was born. Unfortunately, this did not help enough. There were still too many times to consider. The American Charles Dowd proposed dividing the USA into four time zones. In November 1883, these time zones are standard time at all North American stations and post offices. Of course, this time had to be honored at all official bodies. And so the station clock continues to spread. In 1900, this system was adapted for the whole world and the now known 24 time zones of the world were created.

Simple and intriguing design

It is not uncommon for hanging up a station clock to completely change the impression of space in an apartment and create a completely new feeling of space. It is precisely this contrast of hanging a clock that is actually at home in the transport sector in one's own home that is in great demand. The large watches also look very good in the office. They are definitely an eye-catcher.
Timeless and elegant are just a few attributes that apply to the wall station clocks. Thanks to their reduced design, they offer an ideal antithesis to playful home furnishings. Nowadays, the minimalist aspect of this is often associated with the words retro or antique. Also because the simple elegance of the station clocks can hardly be found anywhere else in this day and age.
