A Timepiece, City Style

Wbel Neu 2

Zurich's new Christmas Illuminations, "The World's Largest Timepiece" have replaced the hundreds of light bulbs that were installed along the Bahnhofstrasse 33 years ago. As Christmas day nears, the illumination(s) will gradually alter until New Year's Eve when the row of lights will emit sparks of lights almost like a fireworks display.

The entire installation is made up of 7 meter long fiber optic tubes. Within each tube are 28 sections to give off varying patterns.
