Historical background

The Timewheel (Időkerék) is one of the world's largest hourglasses: sand trickles down from the top to the bottom through a small opening in the glass. At the end of each year the wheel is supposed to be turned 180 degrees, which must be done by manual power using steel cables and it takes roughly 45 minutes. Since 2011 (circa) The Timewheel is broken.
