word clock is a little too verbose for me
While this wouldn’t be the first time that I encountered a clock that tells time with text, it’s certainly the most wordy version that I’ve seen.

While this wouldn’t be the first time that I came across a clock that tells time with text, it’s certainly the most wordy version that I’ve seen.
Singapore designer Hans Tan created the Idea of a Clock II using a green LED bulletin board to display the current time using a lengthy textual description. For instance, at 12:29, the clock reads “This is the idea of a clock that tells you the time using words at exactly twenty-nine minutes past twelve”.
Now that’s just a bit too wordy to offer at-a-glance time checking, isn’t it? By the time you’re done reading the entire message, the time probably will have changed.
Idea of a Clock II is a limited edition timepiece, with pricing available upon request of the artist.
