Based on railway engineer Hans Hilfiker's 1940s classic the Swiss Railway Station Clock is a standard throughout European train stations with over 3000 clocks keeping precision time. The straightforward black and white face with a red second hand is easy to read from a distance. The Small Swiss Railway Wall Clock reflects the Museum's long history of documenting and displaying timepieces from the modern era many examples of which are featured in the Museum’s collection. Made by Mondaine. One AA battery is required (not included) for the 10" clock. Two AA batteries are required for the 15.75" clock which can also be powered using the included AC adapter.
