The Corpus Clock, also known as the Grasshopper clock, is a large sculptural clock at street level on the outside of the Taylor Library at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge University, in the United Kingdom, at the junction of Bene't Street and Trumpington Street, looking out over King's Parade. It was conceived and funded by John C. Taylor, an old member of the college.
It was officially unveiled to the public on 19 September 2008 by Cambridge physicist Stephen Hawking. The clock was named one of Time's Best Inventions of 2008.

Pretty cool, not terribly interesting. Not worth going out of your way to see, but if you're walking around the general area worth a quick look.

Interesting mechanism to wind the clock. Looks like an Asian gong at first sight.

Interesting clock. But need more information about the clock.

Very good I usually ignore this - but it always has people outside it for a few minutes anyway

Stumbled across it without realising at first when I was in the area lol. No wonder there was a bit of a crowd. Absolutely stunning and unique. Something like Harry Potter or Fantastic Beasts style. Wonder how you can tell the time though.. Lovely area.

I wouldn't call it beautiful, but definitely a piece of ART!

Hard to get a good picture because of glare anytime of day. Fascinating mechanism. Be sure to look for the blue lights for the second , minute, and hour hands.

Make sure you get an explanation of this concept clock to fill out the visual experience.
