Description
THE UNION SQUARE METRONOME
The Union Square Metronome Clock located in Union Square in New York City. This clock has been the subject of much debate over the years with many people trying to figure it out. The popular consensus is that the numbers to the left show the National Debt but this is incorrect.
This is actually a clock which is also an art installation of sorts. The numbers to the left are counting down the time since midnight and the numbers on the right are counting towards midnight. It's a little confusing but once you know what it really is and understand the way it works it becomes more clear. Either way it's a beautiful piece of work and is the centrepiece of Union Square.
