The unique timepiece rot only tells the time in San Francisco and 23 other cities at the same time, but it also gives the moon phase, date and day. Although the entire clock Is only IS by IS Inches square It contains something like 500 separate parts, most of which are In plain view. It took the Inventor seven months to build the clock. As early as the Eighteenth century It was very common practice for clocks to be equipped to tell, besides the time, the month, the day of the month, phases of the moon, etc. But for some reason the practice did not become general.
