tiktak clock offers numeric overkill

filed under: design | retro | timepieces

TikTak Numeric Clock byNiels van Eijk and Miriam van der Lubbe

Sometimes it’s a bit of a challenge to tell the exact time on an analog clock. Sure, you can say “it’s about quarter-to-three”, but it really might be 2:47. This intricate wall clock tries to solve that problem by displaying every individual minute as a separate point on the dial…
