Together with a network of other clocks, this Grey Cuckoo used to function as a ‘slave clock’. These clocks were used throughout large buildings and complexes and were connected to a centralized ‘master clock’ that synchronized the time by sending electrical signals. The round clock consists of a light-grey steel plated casing and has white face.
This clock was discovered at the remains of an East German ‘Kunstlederfabrik’, a manufacturing company where artificial leather was produced. As the production of this synthetic leather depends on heavy chemicals, even after decades of abandonment the deteriorating factory complex was surrounded by a chemical smell in the air. Luckily we were able to salvage these special clocks in in time.
The clock has been reworked with an entire new clockwork mechanism.
