OK, It's actually 1.6 seconds.. But who's counting right Mark?
I came in close using a shallow DOF, with the automatic watch movement on of course.
And here's a bit of trivia for you.. The second, a fundamental unit of time, is now defined in terms of the radiation frequency at which atoms of the element cesium change from one state to another. The second was formerly defined as 1/86,400 of the mean solar day. Source (Encyclopedia Britanica)

1 commentsWhat a special way to show the passage of time, Howard. The clock works are are very nicely colored and sharp with the blurring of the hands showing time's passage.
I remember when they changed to using cesium to define the second. I believe that work was done at what was then the National Bureau of Standards (now the National Institute of Science and Technology)
