the station clock

The Swiss Railways Clock was designed to stop for 1.5 seconds every minute.

“The pause of the second hand with the minute-to-minute jump on the station clock became such a strong symbol that the SBB decided to keep it even though engineering had long since advanced to permit other rhythms. Unintentional beauty is a long-lasting essence of wit, humor and spirit.”
