: The Time Wheel is 8m in diameter and 2.5m thick. It is made of red granite, rust-free steel and bulletproof glass. It holds 7 tons of sand, can be turned over, and weighs 60 tons in total.

The Time Wheel is a huge sand-glass; it does not measure Time, it portrays Time. It is an artistic work, which does not demonstrate the successive stream of seconds, and which does not stress the attachment of particular cultures to their own measurement of time, but which depicts Time's monumentality, Time's streaming continuity, Time's infinite movement. It takes a year for the 4.4 cubic metres of sand in the Time Wheel to fall from one chamber into the other.

In developing the conception and plans of the Time Wheel, the objective of the KRONOS FOUNDATION was to aid the creation of an artistic work and cultural event that would make it possible for Budapest - as East-Central Europe's cultural, business and touristic capital - to offer visitors and the media one of the most attractive sights in the region, indeed the whole continent.
