Obligatory Designer Clock
It’s clock that does not have any hour and minute hands, instead the hour markings dynamically change to show the time.
Although at the first glance it looks like just another obligatory designer clock… but what’s interesting about it is that even though it shows time in a very different way than any common clock, it’s based on the same components and movement as any common clock.
Here is short time-lapse video that shows it in action:

i love reading about your ideas & inventions – especially the holga d.
i’d totally buy one of those if they cost the same as a toy camera.
HOW DO I BUY THIS?!
Absolutely love it!
First Design Clock I would totally BUY!!!
Will it be sold anywhere?
I love your designs, especially the Holga.D. I avoid digital watches and clocks since I find the traditional analog displays easier to read at a glance. My only suggestion to the clock is to eliminate the need for the blue fill indicator for the minutes. It would take a bit to get used to this progress bar. The blue progress bar would require me to calculate visually a little more than if you eliminated this indicator and instead had the hour bar move incrementally each minute. But, I assume there are clocks like this already and you want your to be completely different. Nice design just the same.
I love this clock. Woke up several times last night, and it kept going through my head! I’d had vague thoughts about a “different” clock design about a year or so, but never got around to giving it serious thought, but this is very close to what I had in mind, I think. Well done for getting there first
I gotta have it! I deeply adore this design! Is there an option to buy it?
I wants this clock to! Any info?
Cool! I really want one…
I love the concept! Is it already for sale?.
Love to have one!
