Christiaan Postma clock

Clock

Dutch designer Christiaan Postma figured out how to arrange more than 150 analog clocks in such a way that at certain times, the hands line up to spell the words of the hour. Not very down-to-the-minutes, but you can tell it’s halfway between two hours when one is devolving and anther is congealing. This must have taken forever; I love it. I wonder which languages would make this task easier or more difficult. Via Cool Hunting.

    I so want to do a remake of this, but it used over 150 pieces of clockwork. Time to see if I can get a bulk buy discount. :)

    It’s all fun and games until Daylight Savings Time rolls around.

    Nah, it’s easy at least one way. Just remove all batteries for one hour… on the next switch you need to remove them for 23 hours though..
