New summer look in Zurich

By Aida on June 10, 2006

The famous Flower Clock at Bürkliplatz, presented to Zurich by Beyer in 1985, has been given a fascinating, new summer attire. To mark the 75th anniversary of Zurich’s Succulent Plant Collection, this summer the five-metre wide clock face is decorated with a wide variety of succulent plants.
The face represents the waves of the lake, while the palm tree evokes a breath of sea air. This year too, the Flower Clock promises to be a popular photograph subject for tourists.
Zurich’s Flower Clock comprises a 70 kg, remote-controlled movement with a cast casing, set in a raised concrete bed.
