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.

hans tan idea of a clock II

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.

However in the short run coffee lovers will have the opportunity to realize that there’s a least one exception to this law. The gadget in the question represents a gravity defying coffee maker named Kahva and designed by Lina Fischer.

The Luna Crystal watch
Despite the fact that at present many different things such as cell phones, mp3 players and so on can be used to tell time, the watch is still considered as a necessary device. From the very appearance of the watch till present days there was an enormous amount of watch designs, yet the common feature is that given device has always served as an adornment as well. So nowadays the main function of the watch, i.e. to tell time, is not of great importance, because it’s generally used as an ornament.
