Three Clocks for Gara de Nord Timisoara

Three clocks are keeping time at Gara de Nord Timisoara. They were delivered, installed at the station, and formally accepted on 30 June 2026, as part of the station's renovation.

We were commissioned to build three station clocks for the North Station. The movement is the first we have designed from scratch.

Two dials, one mechanism

Each clock is double-faced: two opposed dials driven by one common mechanism. The drive is stepper-driven, with a worm-gear reduction to the minute axis, then geared to the hour axis. A planetary gear reverses the drive to the second dial, so both faces advance together from the one movement. Because both dials take their drive from the same train, the two faces read alike. Operation is continuous.

An electromechanical movement

Our watches run on Sellita calibers. The station clocks do not. We classify the movement as electromechanical, suited to a train station, where precision and reliability are a must.

How they keep time

The clocks are GPS-synchronized, with autonomous fallback timekeeping. When the signal is unavailable, the movement holds its own time and corrects itself once the signal returns. The changeover between winter and summer time is automatic. Each clock carries a temperature display in e-ink. Integrated dial text illumination activates itself at dusk.

MNS-1, MNS-2, MNS-3

The three clocks carry the serial numbers MNS-1, MNS-2, and MNS-3. MNS stands for Mimora North Station. They are installed and running now.
