Burg, chairman of Burgmaster Corp., Gardena producer of turret drilling machines (which he also invented), the first clock was presented to Leo Helfenberger, vice president of Union Bank's international division. Burg, holding the clock, explained the small dial shows local time while the big dial gives the zone time. The zone dial lights up to indicate AM or PM.
