A time display device has at least one linear scale subdivided into at least two parallel scale sections arranged side by side. The divisions of the sections are plotted in opposite directions. The device includes guiding elements running between these scale sections, and at least one member attached to the guiding elements and movable along the linear scale sections. This member also has driving elements moving it, and display elements attached to the member for displaying time on the scale sections. The display elements are attached to the member such that each time when reaching the end of a linear scale section, they will turn from one scale section to the other. The turning occurs at least partially in a jumping and instantaneous manner. As an alternative to this feature, the turning may also occur by a linear motion of the display elements.
