A multi-part time lapse display device (1) comprising at least one display section (11) in the course of the time lapse display device (1) in the direction of the longitudinal axis (L), which has a sufficiently transparent housing jacket (110), so that a proportion of at least 20% light in the visible spectral range passes through the housing jacket (110) can be created, which is flexibly programmable and easy to operate and read. This is achieved in that the display section (11) is designed as a hollow cylinder or a hollow truncated cone, the timing display device (1) comprises electronics which include at least one real-time clock (101), a microprocessor (102), a memory and a rotary switch (103) and the electronics with lighting means (111) arranged in the interior of the display section (11) are operatively connected in such a way that the timing display device (1) as a software-controlled device emits light that varies in brightness and / or light wavelength (λ) over time by a microcontroller (102) controlled software outwards from the display section (11) radially away from the longitudinal axis (L).
