Abstract: A pointer instrument, in particular in a motor vehicle, has two pointer shafts (3, 8) which can each be driven by a separate pointer drive (13, 9) and are arranged one next to the other, and two scales (1, 2) which are arranged concentrically with respect to one another and are each intended for one pointer (4). One of the pointer shafts (8) is arranged eccentrically, while the other pointer shaft (3) is arranged concentrically with respect to the two concentric scales (1, 2). The pointer which is assigned to the eccentric pointer shaft (8) is embodied as an optical pointer (6) which has a lightguide (7) which is arranged radially on the eccentric pointer shaft (8) and can rotate with the pointer shaft (8), and a lightguide system (10) which is formed from fixed lightguides (11, 11a), the lightguides (11, 11a) of which each start at a small distance from the movement path of the free end of the rotatable lightguide (7) and lead to display segments (5) on the assigned, concentric scale (2).

Abstract: A clock with a housing with quadratic or square cross-section in the plane of the dial plate and a holder for the detachable reception of the housing. At least one part of the holder is formed in the shape of a yoke having two spring arms between which the housing can be clampingly inserted, and at least the side surfaces of the housing and at least the free ends of the arms are provided with interengaging profiles for the detent connection of the holder and the housing.
