Solar and Laser Clock

Solar and laser Clock

If the left bank has its flower clock, the right bank, since 1997, boasts a "monumental solar and laser clock" on the Quai Wilson, near the Perle du Lac.

Work of the Hungarian artist Klara Kuchta, the clock, of remarkable aesthetic quality, has a face of 6.40 meters in diameter. Of stainless steel and laminated glass, it lets 198 stars show through, while a beam of optical fibres makes them shine on a celestial map.

It marries ancestral tradition with high technology, combining two light sources: the sun and laser.

Location: Parc Mon Repos
