More information
'On the elongated wooden board, the names of various places in the world are inscribed according to their geographical locations. On the chain, which hangs from a motor axle in front of the board, the hours of the day are marked with numbers. Each link represents five minutes. The chain completes one revolution per day, bringing time to all the places simultaneously.' (from "Dan Wolgers 120 verk 1977-1996", p. 19.)
