"On Time," Museum für Gestaltung Zürich

The gears of time visually implemented

Glass cases in the form of large toothed gears contain objects that we use to get a hold of time: clocks and their components in so-called contemporary or timeless design. The schedules, newspapers, or time clocks that structure daily activity also reveal the time in which they were designed and manufactured. They are either displayed open, presented beneath glass in large showcases, or are hanging on the wall, like the cuckoo clock, which is anything but timeless.
