Více o knize
The station clock used by the SBB, the Swiss Federal Railways, is a legendary piece of Swiss design. It tells the time at almost every station in the country. It also made the leap from station platform to wrist, marketed across the world by watch-making firm Mondaine. This book explains how Hans Hilfiker designed the Swiss railways station clock in 1944 and gives an insight into this pioneering designer and engineer. It details how André and Ronnie Bernheim adapted the clock design for their wristwatch in 1986 and how they incorporated the "magical moment" of the second hand's brief pause as experienced at Swiss railway stations into their new "Stop2Go" watch. "The station clock" is a colourful pictorial featuring a collection of insightful narratives.
