Is it ever okay for a clock to run 15 minutes fast? Yes!
I am certain you didn’t expect that answer from a clock company.
Electric Time Company was honored to provide the clock hand and movement assembly for the legendary Lombardi Clock at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
One of the greatest football coaches of all time, Vince Lombardi expected his players to arrive 15 minutes early for every meeting and practice. If you were less than 15 minutes early, you were already late.
It became known as “Lombardi Time”.
That tradition lives on at Lambeau Field, where the Lombardi Clock on the exterior of the stadium is permanently set 15 minutes ahead.
Behind the clock face is Electric Time engineering. Our #5 tower clock movement powers the tapered hands of the more than 16-foot-diameter clock. Electric Time manufactures complete tower clock systems and movements for architectural clocks of all sizes.
So, the next time you’re in Green Bay, check out the Lombardi Clock above the UW Health Gate at Lambeau Field.
Lombardi Time — it’s a real thing. And it may be the only time a clock company is happy to see the wrong time.
