Time-Flow ClockBernard Gitton, 1980s. Very rare and unusual pendulum water clock. Notes The precision of the clock is quite remarkable. Although, the flow rate from the top container to the "spoon" connected to the pendulum can vary as much as 0.6 cm3/second the rate of the clock is constant.Bernard Gitton has built a number of these clocks varying in sizes, the largest being 8.7 meters, now in Portugal. Some of his clocks are in Museums, such as the National Museum of Natural Science in Taiwan, National Time Museum of Chicago, some in galleries.
