FIELD: physics; clocks.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to watch-making, wrist and table mechanical clocks and can be used in making novel clocks with time indication using animated images of moving sand in an hour glass (hour glass animation) on a clock face. To enable indication of time on a clock face using animated images of moving sand in a hour glass (hour glass animation) in the form of animated looped-back flow of sand from the top to the bottom of a hour glass and further flipping of the hour glass at the end of each cycle of the animated hour glass according to the method of indicating time or period of time in devices for indicating time or periods of time, having a clock mechanism, a time-setting element and a time indication means, the time indication means is in the form of an hour glass animation means with animation of sand movement in an hour glass, which is interfaced with a time-setting drive element of the hour glass animation means. In clocks with a clock mechanism, a time-setting element and time indication means, the time indication means is in the form of an hour glass animation means with animation of sand movement in an hour glass, interfaced with a time-setting drive element of the hour glass animation means.
EFFECT: design of a novel clock.
