Thanks. I was also unaware of it till I found it by serendipity. It will soon go into my collection of unusual clocks. The others are;

Not that difficult to read time.

Each panel in 1st row is 5 hours - with 2 lit panels it becomes 2x5 = 10 hours
+
Each panel in 2nd row is 1 four - with 1 lit panel it becomes 1x1 = 1 hours
Total - 11 hours.

Each panel in 3rd row is 5 minutes - with 9 lit panels it becomes 9x5 = 45 minutes
+
Each panel in 4th row is 1 minutes - with 3 lit panels it becomes 3x1 = 3 minutes

Hence time = 11:48

Easy

Well done hhgygy, Walter and Krenek!
