Swiss railway clock on first position

I put the Swiss clock face to the first position in the row, since I wanted to make expilcit that all other clock faces on the same row (Germany, Belgium, Netherlands ... many others) are direct and intended derivations from its iconic desgin in 1944. There was no coincidence that many railway stations clocks are looking quite similar in the second half of the 20th century in Europe. Therefore I also thought that the mentioning of the designer's name would not be a too strong exaggeration. So I thought the historical background to be more important than the alphabetical order and uniformness. -- ZH8000 (talk) 20:32, 18 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
