This is the Corpus Clock, a distinctive and unusual timepiece located in Cambridge, UK, outside the Taylor Library at Corpus Christi College.

Unique Design: The clock features a large, gold-plated face without traditional hands, displaying time using blue LED lights arranged in three concentric rings for hours, minutes, and seconds.

The Chronophage: Perched atop the clock is a mechanical creature known as the 'Chronophage' (meaning 'time-eater'), which resembles a grasshopper or locust and symbolizes the relentless passage of time by appearing to devour each passing minute.

Symbolic Features: The radiating ripples on the gold face allude to the Big Bang, and the clock's erratic movement, being accurate only once every five minutes, symbolizes the unpredictable nature of time.

Creator and Unveiling: Designed and gifted to the college by Dr. John C. Taylor, the clock was unveiled by Professor Stephen Hawking in 2008.
