The Zimmer Tower

Source: Jan Van der Perre

Description

Did you know that the watchmaker Louis Zimmer received congratulations for his timepiece in the Zimmer tower from Albert Einstein, among others? And did you know that this clock contains, among other things, the slowest moving mechanical hand in the world/ It has one revolution every 25,800 years as an indication of the precession of the earth. The prescession can simply be imagined as the movement like that of a spindle. The earth's axis also follows a movement, but very slowly.
