“The hour approaches. The beast’s jaws gape, its tail quivers and then snap! Another minute has been devoured, and the hour strikes with the ominous clonk of a chain dropping into a coffin. The creature blinks twice in satisfaction.”

This is how the Guardian started its article on the unveiling of the chronophage – the devourer of time – the new clock of Cambridge’s Corpus Christi College clock by Stewart Huxley.

Mad thing – I want one!!!
