I see this clock on Copenhagen Main Station fairly often [1], made with giant neon tubes.
It looks fairly old. Does anyone know how it originally worked, and if it still works that way?
(My searching skills aren't good enough in Danish, but there are plenty of Danish speakers on HN.)

There's surprisingly little information about it. All I can find is that it was originally build in 1950 and was renovated in 2008, and it used to use relays, which were broken for some time.
