Abstract

The invention relates to a clock comprising a clock face with hands and clockwork elements. Said clock face comprises a non-rotationally symmetric surface in the direction of rotation of the hands. The inner ends of the hands are rotatably mounted in a displaceable manner around a pivoting axis which extends in a peripheral manner with respect to the peripheral rotational axis of the hands and in a perpendicular manner with respect to the longitudinal axis of the hands. A control element is provided, enabling the hands to be pivoted in such a way that they can be displaced at an equal distance from the surface of the clock face as they go round. Said novel clock is characterized in that the hands on the inner end thereof or near thereto are rotatably mounted around a rotating axis extending in the longitudinal direction of the hands; the hands are flat in the visible region thereof; and a control element is provided, enabling the hands to be rotated around the rotational axis thereof in such a way that they can be displaced parallel to the clock face surface as they go round.
