  • the term "transparency" in the sense of the invention is to be understood as meaning a range of light transmittance from a milk glass similarity to a complete transparency. It is essential that the time display means can be recognized outside the plate surface. In particular, mechanically movable hands for hours, minutes or seconds are provided as the time display means.
  • the invention provides to provide below or in the table top digital display, a liquid crystal display or the like. It is also alternatively provided to integrate time indication means in the plate. Thus, by electrical and physical means numbers or numbers in the transparent plate can be made visible.

  • an application of the invention is also provided in other pieces of furniture, in particular in the form of bedside tables, dressers, showcases or office furniture.
  • the movement is integrated in the support assembly.
  • the integration of a movement in the support assembly is understood to mean both the spatial installation of a movement in corresponding parts or portions of the support assembly and the cultivation of a clockwork or a housing for the movement to corresponding parts or portions of the support assembly.
  • the support arrangement may in particular comprise a frame with one or more frame legs or also a central base with at least one upwardly projecting support column.
  • an at least partially mechanical movement is provided, and as a time display means a minute hand and an hour hand are rotatably mounted about a central axis of rotation in at least one plane parallel to the plate below and coupled to the movement.
  • the plate forms the "watch glass", because through the plate, the hands can be viewed, which rotate in their horizontal plane time-dependent.
