This clock is lovingly made from engraved aluminum plates that overlap , rotating independently as the minute pass . But can you tell the metre using it ?
call in the Eclipse Clock , this is the inspiration of University of Art and Design Lausanne alumnus Rachel Suming . The 1.5 millimeter - thick alumnium plate morph from a dress circle into a hexagon over a six - hour flow .
So how do you severalize the clock time ? Well , first off , every three time of day the engrave line meet to form a number that tells you the time — either twelve , three , six or nine . In between times , a elusive arrow hidden in the etching points in the focus of where you ’d look to line up the hour maker on a traditional clock to tell you the time . Suming explain thethinking behind the design :
“ We are all affect by the pep pill of life , the need to be fertile at work or to reply to a rigorous agenda . The workforce of a clock can become nerve-racking . I was inspired by a specific watch send for Philosophia , which was designed to only show the hr . This idea of showing and hiding different notion of time was the start level for Eclipse . ”
There ’s no word on whether the clock will be put into production . But if it is , expect to take a more … relaxed overture to telling fourth dimension . [ Dezeen ]
