Clock Clock: Integrated Timepiece Created Using 24 Individual Clocks

By Alex in Art, Gadgets, Hacks & Mods, Pictures on May 20, 2009 at 1:22 am

This Clock Clock by Humans Since 1982 uses 24 individual analog clocks to tell the time! Technabob explains:

It took me a second to figure out what was going on when I first got a look at this table full of analog clocks. But once I stood back from my screen, I realized that none of the clocks have the correct time and the whole thing is a macro timepiece that tells the time using 24 individual clocks.

Created by Swedish designers Humans Since 1982, the Clock Clock installation features 48 electronically-controlled analog clock hands which automatically rotate into the proper positions to form a giant digital display.

    I can’t see how the clocks would display any numbers other than the 0,2,5 & 9 shown.

    @Maharoc: Did you watch the video in the link, it shows all ten digits. I personally don’t care for how they handle 1, 4, and 7.

    No… just watched it now.
    Agreed 1,4 & 7 were a bit messy…and where was 8

    Personally I would rather it be a bit more smooth and slow than what it is now.. its… very chaotic… make the moves Necessary would make it that much cooler. Other than that I love the idea!
