Kanazawa Station Fountain Clock

The Kanazawa Station Fountain Clock displays the time using controlled fountains of water. Located just outside the gate to the city's train station, it's more than just a clock - the valving that forms the clock's numeric digits is also used to spell out text messages in both Japanese and English. See photos and video here: [inventorspot.com].

Here's a longer article about the clock: [news.softpedia.com].

The photo below gives an idea of how the water jets form the characters.
