At first I wanted to create a clock that only showed the time, nothing else. So I devised this style where the hour and minutes are divided into three layers of numbers that rotate. My concern being that the hour layer would rotate at a different speed than the minutes layers, which could be potentially pose some serious problems. I don't know much about the technical aspects of this.
But then I realized this could become a calendar as well, so I broke up the month and day into colors to help it read better. And instead of using any mechanisms, this would be adjusted by the user manually as a small desk calendar.
DWR? Is it within reaaaaaaaaaaaaaach?
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing dude. I used to have a similar thing in my room as a kid, not as cool though, of course.

what are in all of those tiny boxes???
Very cool. This would be a best-seller in the MoMA Store.
ReplyDeletereally, really like this!!! get it MADE!
ReplyDeleteDig the minimalist design. What about a 24-hour version. That might make things easier. Or harder. Either way.
ReplyDeleteThe timekeeping movement you're looking for in this case is the 'jump hour' or 'direct read' - some watches that use variations on that style are here: http://www.jumphour.com/ No doubt it could be scaled up to clock size. Neat blog btw.
ReplyDeletethis is creative, a funny way to make something in your freetime and in other way a good control your non freetime, iclusive you can use this as something similar to a agenda.
ReplyDeleteAmazing thanks so much for sharing, I always wanted to put a sun clock outside my place to see how it really works, thanks for share.
