But the Hormersdorfer apply the same principle also every five minutes. The five- minute bars are called " digit " means, since they are labeled by the numbers on the dial of the clock. So when the big hand is on the 2, 2 " digits" of the hour have passed, so it's " 2 digits late". By specifying the corresponding hour the sounds then " zwee digits zwe'e ".
