   Seems a little hard to decipher the minutes.

   That was my thought also, B83

   I am reminded of Kafka, but I don't know why.

   I do like this clock. I think it's because I get the sense of about what time it is instead of the exact time. Since the arrival of the digital display I feel inundated with the obsession to know the exact time. I feel a sense of freedom when I go through my day without caring what time it is. This clock would help me keep that feeling while providing a gentler and sometimes necessary reminder of the time of day.

   For instance:

   It's about four.

   and not

   "At the sound of the tone it is exactly four thirteen."

   Guess you don't need to be at work on time?

   That's freaking awesome!
   And come on, if after owning the clock for a day or two you can't approximate how closely the hands are to forming the letters withing (a very generous) fifteen minutes, you probably should just have a big digital watch anyway and forget the "hands" style altogether
   This is a very clever art piece.

   Hey cool, in the picture you can kind of see the remains of three and you can see five starting to come together.

   This gives whole new meaning to clock watching. It could be mesmerizing.
