English: This image shows the dialect clock in Hormersdorf in the Ore Mountains. The clock shows "
zwee Ziffern zwee'e
" in the Hormersdorf Erzgebirgisch dialect meaning 01:10 (literally "two Ziffers of the second hour", a Ziffer being five minutes, the second hour being 01:00 to 02:00 or 13:00 to 14:00 in daytime).
- The left-hand wheel has twelve cogs, each showing a five minute interval (a Ziffer), from bottom to top:
- üm = at or exactly;
- ä Ziffer = one Ziffer or five minutes;
- zwee Ziffern = two Ziffer or ten minutes;
- värtel = quarter of an hour or fifteen minutes;
- vier Ziffern = four Ziffer or twenty minutes;
- fünf Ziffern = five Ziffer or twenty-five minutes;
- (remaining cogs are out of view)
- The right-hand wheel also has twelve cogs, each showing a single hour, from bottom to top:
- zwilfe = twelve (or "of the twelfth hour");
- äns = one (or "of the first hour");
- zwee'e = two (or "of the second hour");
- dreie = three;
- viere = four;
- fünfe = five;
- (remaining cogs are out of view)
