Mengenlehreuhr - berlin Clock

The Mengenlehreuhr (literally "Set Theory Clock") is a unique public clock in Berlin, Germany. It was designed by Dieter Binninger and installed in 1975. The clock uses illuminated colored blocks to display time in a way inspired by set theory.

How it works:

The time is displayed using rows of red and yellow lights:
- The top row represents 5-hour increments.
- The second row represents single hours.
- The third row represents 5-minute increments.
- The bottom row represents single minutes.
- A blinking light at the top marks passing seconds.

It is considered the first public clock to tell time using a digital, non-numeric method. It can be tricky to read at first, but once you get used to it, it is pretty cool.
