Swiss Railway Official Railway Clock Screensaver "Swiss Railway Clock", that "Stop To Go" is also reproduced

The railway timepiece that was adopted at more than 3000 locations of the Swiss National Railway (SBB CFF FFS) was created by Hans Philfica, who was an engineer and designer of the Swiss Railways in the 1940s, and it is not only a smooth operation of the railway As a result of seeking what can also be a national image of Switzerland itself, the design was designed with high visibility even from far away as a black needle on a white background without numeric numbers, and the red second hand shows that the train station has been departed normally It imitates the red signal flag on hand to inform.

And this Swiss Railway Official Railway Watch has officially released a watch that has been officially licensed to reproduce similar designs and concepts, the well-known watch brand "MONDAINE (Mondine)That's why.

The Swiss Railway Official Railway Clock which is actually used at the Swiss station premises, according to the explanation of Swiss National RailwayThe minute hand starts moving with the clicking after the second hand stops for 1.5 seconds at 12 o'clockIt adopts the mechanism that this movement symbolizes the punctuality of the railway operation, and the minute hand does not move little by little, so that even when it is far away from the position, it is clear what time is now It is a mechanism to understand.

This distinctive movement is called "Stop To Go" and can be confirmed with the following movie.

The second hand is incorrect because both hands do not make one lap in 60 seconds, but I thought that it would be better for you to clearly understand that it is not "what it is now" but "what it is now" It is based.

By the way, the railroad clock of Swiss National Railways is using time correction by GPS, and the correction of summer time, which is done automatically, has become quite amazing move.
