The Night Watchman Who Never Stopped

A watchman has called the hours from the tower of Lausanne Cathedral every night since 1405, between 22:00 and 02:00, shouting the time to the four points of the compass. The post has never been vacant in more than six centuries.

The clock: Lausanne is also the seat of the International Olympic Committee, which means the city quietly sets the schedule that several billion people watch sport by.
