Obligatory Designer Clock

this is amazing! perhaps instead of a digital display there could be a blue system of ridges and the circle on top with a slit could spin over it. nonetheless, very cool!

If he were to give the minute bar a rainbow of colors instead of the monochromatic blue you could easily tell intervals of ten minutes without needing markings on the face of the clock itself.

Indeed. I rather like the concept, but if we were to tone down the fanboy knee-jerk reflex just for a second here – a clock is a minimalist setup on its own. It’s simple to use, easy to learn and I really see no point of re-learning how to use it – no matter how thorough the design. We see this all of the time – designers who redefine the design of the clock since there obviously exists no way of modifying the function, or parameters. Seconds are still seconds, even if you represent them differently. Therefore, there’s nothing “brilliant” about it save the actual design. And given the fact that the product isn’t in production, this goes even further to strenghten my conviction that this is a throw-away concept, concieved from love of design, not function – and therefore, much more an ego-caressing personal project than a truly minimalist feat.

I like the graph.

I can not wait to come out to buy it, I’ll build one NOW!!!!
