The clock was a little unclear at night. However, standing in front of it and watching it ticking forward, the psychology is still a little inexplicable nervous. After all, time, no one can control.

Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The Eucharist Clock is a large sculptural clock conceived and funded by John C. Taylor. The Eucharistic Clock was listed as an outstanding invention of 2008 by Time magazine and appeared in the Indian film "Father". The face of the Eucharistic Clock is a 24-karat gold-plated stainless steel disc approximately 1.5 meters (4.9 feet) in diameter. It has no hands and numerals, but displays the time via blue LEDs. The main visual feature of the clock is a metal sculpture of an insect resembling a grasshopper or locust, and time seems to be constantly being devoured by this monster. The inscription below the clock is in Latin 1 John 2:17: mundustransitetconcupiscentiaeius. As a work of public art, it reminds viewers in a dramatic way that time must pass.

The "Eucharist Clock" was conceived and designed by John Taylor and funded by millions of pounds. It was unveiled by physicist Stephen Hawking. This giant golden grasshopper is known as "Chronophage a time eater, designed to remind people that life is short. At the moment, walking around Cambridge for more than half a day, we feel that the time is extremely long, bored to see grasshoppers jaw open eyes flashing.
At the corner of King's Street, Cambridge, the Golden Bell is designed with creativity. Insects open their mouths once a minute. It feels like they are constantly devouring time, warning people of the preciousness of time and not wasting their time.
Really an interesting clock that attracted a lot of visitors. We sat outside the Cambridge mansion in the nearby corner and were fortunate to watch the clock pass for a while. If you want to take a photo, you need to be patient because sometimes it is a bit crowded so people can block the sidewalk and the road. But still very worth the wait.
This is a strangely large golden clock, which sits in front of a window in the city center. At the top of the clock is a always big ladybird-like creature, with its legs a clock hand and mouth a second hand, and it looks like it is devouring a minute and a second, and if you look closer, it seems that your eyes are still shining.
