An identical clock is used at most of the swimming pools I've competed/trained in for lap times and synchronization. I remember it distinctly, since I spent so much time looking at it. It even has the "smooth motion, with a pause at the minute mark" feature that others in the thread are discussing. I suppose that also has practical advantages for swim meets.
I sure hope my high school won't also have to pay $21,000,000; I don't think they'll be able to afford it.

- apetresc 14y agoYes, yes, and yes. Especially those last two things, that's the most distinctive thing about it.

- vadimoss 14y agoI think Apple should actually pay another $21M to your high school as well:). I am pretty sure some of their designers go swimming in between researching for "inspiration" for the most iconic designs of human civilization:)

It's quite possible - you can buy them new from the original manufacturer. They are not exclusive to the railways. http://www.mobatime.com/products/analog-clocks/analog-outdoor-clocks/profiline.html http://www.mobatime.com/products/analog-clocks/analog-outdoo...
