The World's Largest Hourglass
The Timewheel, near the City Park of Budapest, is the world's largest hourglass. Technically it's not really a hourglass as it does not measure time, nor does it run by the hour.
Timewheel
The Timewheel was commissioned to commemorate the enlargement of the European Union on 1 May 2004, when Hungary joined the Union.
Timewheel Base
The Timewheel is turned once a year midnight on New Year's Eve.
