The Clock demo is wrong. If you are going to already use the Swiss Railway face (The SBB will not be happy) you need to also have the second hand run continuously as well as have it stop at the top.

Like this:

<object data="http://www.3quarks.com/images/svg/station-clock.svg" type="image/svg+xml" width="200" height="200"> <param name="dial" value="din 41091.1"/> <param name="hourHand" value="swiss"/> <param name="minuteHand" value="swiss"/> <param name="secondHand" value="swiss"/> <param name="minuteHandBehavior" value="stepping"/> <param name="secondHandBehavior" value="sweeping"/> <param name="secondHandStopToGo" value="yes"/> <param name="secondHandStopTime" value="1.5"/> <param name="backgroundColor" value="rgba(0,0,0,0)"/> <param name="dialColor" value="rgb(40,40,40)"/> <param name="hourHandColor" value="rgb(20,20,20)"/> <param name="minuteHandColor" value="rgb(20,20,20)"/> <param name="secondHandColor" value="rgb(160,50,40)"/> <param name="axisCoverColor" value="rgb(20,20,20)"/> <param name="axisCoverRadius" value="0"/> <param name="updateInterval" value="50"/> </object>



It says "inspired on", not "a replica of". But you're always welcome to fork and improve! https://github.com/wout/svg.clock.js


Mondaine licensed the Swiss Railways design[0] but don't use the constant motion mechanism, maybe the demo is emulating their watches?

Mondaine used to make a watch that mimics the Swiss railway movement. Is was called stp2go, it looks like they just re-released it[0]. The old one had problems and would loose time quickly.
