EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the awe-inspiring presence of Meier's Wonderful Clock during its exhibition at the German Black Forest Village during the Chicago World's Fair in 1934. Measuring an impressive 14 feet in height, 7 feet in width, and weighing a massive 2500 lbs, this timepiece was a true marvel of the 1930s. The inventor, builder, and owner of this magnificent creation was Louis Meier, born in Bavaria in 1866. Meier's Sons, one of whom is pictured here, showcased the clock as part of their exhibit in Detroit, Michigan, USA. The company was renowned for its expertise in watch and clock making. The Chicago World's Fair, also known as the Century of Progress Exposition, was held from May to October 1933 and 1934. The fair celebrated human achievements in science, communication, transportation, and more, showcasing the progress made during the first century of the 20th century. Meier's Wonderful Clock was a fitting addition to this celebration of time and human ingenuity. The clock's intricate design and immense size attracted thousands of visitors to the German Black Forest Village pavilion. The clock's face featured Roman numerals and intricate details, while its exterior was adorned with carved figures and intricate designs. The clock's movement was powered by a weight drive system, and its chimes rang out every hour, adding to its allure. Meier's Wonderful Clock was a testament to the ingenuity and craftsmanship of the era, and its exhibition at the Chicago World's Fair was a highlight of the event. Today, it remains a symbol of the 1930s and the progress made during that time, inspiring awe and admiration in all who see it.
