The Zeitwerk Decimal Strike, like the Striking Time, strikes "in passing," which means that if you
link have striking enabled (as with the Striking Time, you can turn the strike function on or off at will) it will strike automatically as the hands pass each
link hour or 10 minute interval. (In French this is called striking en passant; I have no idea what it would be in German. Striking im Vorbeigehen?) The Decimal Strike chimes the hours with a lower pitched chime and
link the 10s with a higher pitched chime.
