It is made from aluminium, steel and Jesmonite and measures 5.44 metres in diameter. The black clock is situated 16 metres in front of its inspiration, so for those alighting from the trains, the original face will gradually appear eclipsed.
Cornelia Parker RA said One More Time is conceived to invoke meditative thoughts on the passage of time, life and mortality, “The clock is the most conscious focus of a railway station, a dominant force. Everyone is watching the clock, checking if they are late. The piece will introduce the idea of a parallel frame of reference, that of a slower astronomical time.” The artwork is made with DENT London Clocks, manufacturers of the present clock at St Pancras and the Great Clock in the Elizabeth Tower, commonly known as Big Ben.
