ooh Manezhnaya, 1, page 2, Moscow, Russia
Description:
In the very center of the capital, which is most often chosen by tourists for walks, there is a spectacular fountain "World Clock". It can be seen on the Manezh Square when traveling from the metro station “Okhotny Ryad” or “Manezh Square” towards Red Square. The domed structure adorns the shopping areas of the “Hunting Row”.
An unknown engineer created a symbolic image of the planet in the form of a glass dome. The architectural object is divided into 24 sectors, meaning the number of time zones of the northern hemisphere. On the perimeter of the sphere hit high water jets. The dome rotates one rotation per day. Through simple logical reflection, anyone can determine the time in a city.
The structure in the form of a glass dome looks quite spectacular and annually attracts many tourists, each of whom considers it necessary to find his city and determine the time in it.
