Designed by Dr John C Taylor OBE, the 3.3-metre Midsummer Chronophage, which will be on display until next year, has no hands or numbers and is inspired by the idea that everyone experiences time differently.

Dr Taylor said: “It takes a dyslexic inventor to produce a clock without hands that also plays games with you. Once you have seen the Chronophage all other clocks will seem rather boring – all they do is tell the time.”
