For just a few brief moments each day, this clock looks like an ordinary cube, but most of the time it transforms to form star-like geometric patterns.

Time Cube Clock

The Time Cube carves off one corner of its 6-sided box to form a series of layered triangles which rotate to tell the current time. The largest triangle displays hours, while the medium-sized one tells minutes, and the small spinning triangle on top acts as a second hand.

At first glance, I thought it might be confusing to read, but if you just think about the triangles like the hands on a regular clock, it’s not too difficult to get the hang of it.

The Time Cube clock is available now from gadget importer Chinavasion for about $12 USD.

This triangle TimeCube clock is garbage math - and has
no relatinship to the http://www.timecube.com website established
in 1997 by Dr. Gene Ray, Cubic and The Wisest Human. I am now over age 80 and have worked on the Time Cube principle for nearly 40 years.

Genesis 1:5 states that God created Light as Day, Darkness as Night and the evening and morning as the first Day (4 corners).

The 3 corner triangle has no opposite corners and therefore,
constitutes evil toward the Bible’s 4 corner time Day and God.

Best of luck with the Evil Clock.

I don’t even know what to say to that, except “Best of luck” too.
