The clock was designed by the French artist Bernard Gitton and set up in 1982.
The water clock displays the time by filling glass spheres with brightly colored liquid, in a cycle that repeats every 12 hours. The whole system is controlled by a pendulum swinging in the lower half of the clock.{{Cite web|url=https://www.aviewoncities.com/berlin/europacenter.htm|title=Europa Center, Berlin|last=Ermengem|first=Kristiaan Van|website=A View On Cities|language=en|access-date=2019-12-04}}
