As I stepped out of the immigration checkpoint at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport, I was greeted by this three-meter-high.
A giant clock in real time featuring a man in blue overalls, redrawing the clock’s hands, from the inside of the clock face, with a roller and paint. Simply mesmerizing to watch!
This Real Time hanging clock is a 12-hour recording of performances indicating the time. Which means it will take you 12 hours to watch it completely!
Created by none other than the Dutch designer, Maarten Baas. He combines theatre, art, film and design in a series of clock designs.
Schiphol Clock for the Schiphol Amsterdam Airport was launched in July 2016.
Another that I have seen was the “Sweepers Clock” at the Erasmus MC, in Rotterdam.
It has been a long time since I last admired Schiphol Clock. Only when I travel international, passing by Lounge 2.
