Abstract

A new clock structure comprising time indication means (4) and reference means (3) associated to a dial (2) in a specularly inverse way. In clocks with hands (4), the latter rotate anticlockwise, whereas in liquid crystals clocks and the like, figures are specularly inverse. Mirror means (6) may be provided to read the time through the reflected image (2', 3',.4') of the dial (2). The mirror means may comprise a mirror (6) pivoted to the dial (2) and having a reflecting side which, in use faces the dial, whereby the mirror rotation lets the observer to find a position in which he can see in the dial the reflected image (21) of the time to read (31,41). The mirror means may comprise on it reference means (22) to read the time, auxiliary reference means (20) being provided on the dial and on the mirror means (21), whereby the coincidence of the former on the latter allows a right time reading.
