> Implemented the minute pause of the Swiss railway clocks
The station clocks in Switzerland are synchronised by receiving an electrical impulse from a central master clock at each full minute, advancing the minute hand by one minute.

It starts a new rotation as soon as it receives the next minute impulse from the master clock.
