SWITZERLAND BY RAIL - REGIONS - ZURICH
TURLER COSMOS CLOCK
Along
the famed shopping street of the Bahnhofstrasse of Zurich, nearly every
corner is populated by a watch or jewelry store. And why not, Switzerland
is a capital of the fine watch design world. But for a more complex timepiece,
stop in to the Türler Company Store at the Padadeplatz. Türler
(or Tuerler) is both an historic watch-maker and retail store, located
in
Zurich for
125 years, and on display is the Türler Clock in the center of the
main showroom. Made of 1.2 tons of brilliant brass with 251 wheels and
155 pinions in its movement, the Türler Clock is one of the most
complex time pieces ever created, designed to mark the time from its
location in downtown Zurich, in relationship to the movement of the entire
cosmos, marking the "platonic year". No admission charge is
needed to see the Türler Clock, just go watch browsing
