A Clock That Counts Days

The Peace Memorial Museum keeps a clock showing the days since the 6 August 1945 bombing and the days since the most recent nuclear test anywhere in the world. The second number resets more often than most visitors expect.

The clock: Hiroshima keeps UTC+9. The Peace Flame has burned continuously since 1964 and is intended to be extinguished only when the last nuclear weapon is gone.
