Clock Tells Time in Every Time Zone



We've previously featured a minimalist clock design by Giha Woo and Shingoeun. Another clock that they've built uses a staggered hour hand to indicate the time in multiple time zones. It's called "Bent Hands".

I can read it just fine. Now minutes will be pretty much a guesstimate but still cool.

London = ~12:30
Berlin = ~1:30
Arizona = ~5:30
East Canada = ~7:30

The only issue I see is when time changes. Not everyone does day light savings.

When I saw the still image I thought, "Priscilla, Queen of the Desert?" but when it moved I thought more along the lines of Snooki.

The theremin soundtrack didn't help pull me out of the heebie-jeebies.

Looks less plastic than many celebrities.

Where they fall apart for me is really the eyes -- they shouldn't remain stationary long and should fix on a specific object when the head swivels.

Still, neat.

If they've made it out of the uncanny valley, they did it by climbing out the other side by being less realistic.

Wonder though how much variation there is in the general public for the width of the uncanny valley.
