Very Simple Clock

Reworking a Design from 1971

Published in issue 364, April 2007

Very Simple Clock
Electronics moves with the times. Over the years the options available change and there are ever different solutions to realising a certain concept. It is often the case that the amount of integration is increased as much as is possible. A good example is this Very Simple Clock. This clock is based on the Hebinck-clock that was published in the May and June 1971 issues of Elektor Netherlands (the design was never published in the English-language edition, which first appeared in 1975).
