Can you see the outline of a person inside this large clock that is almost 3 meters in diameter? It appears that someone is cleaning the hands and face of the clock and these shadowy images has quickly become a big topic of discussion with online viewers from all over the world!
This huge clock is located at the Schiphol International Airport lounge in Amsterdam which is the largest airport in the Netherlands. How did this person get inside the clock in the first place? It is a real mystery!
A strange hand on the clock’s minute hand.
After a minute, the strange figure is preventing the minute hand from moving.

After a quick clean with a squeegee, the minute hand is released.

This process actually has been recorded as a 12 hour video and was posted on the company website by the clock’s designer Maarten Baas and is titled “Schiphol Clock”.
The whole clock is contained in a stainless steel box and an entrance and exit is attached to the opposite side of the clock face so that cleaners or technicians can easily move in and out without interruptions of the clock’s operations! Here are some photographs of the process that can be found on the Maarten Bass website below.
