The 2014 World Yo-Yo Contest was recently held in Prague, Czech Republic, where the best yo-yo artists showed off their best tricks. Californian pro Gentry Stein of the YoYoFactory team was named the best in the contest’s 1A division.e was the U.S. champion in 2013, and now, the entire world! I won’t show this video to my kids -they think I’m an expert because I can get a yoyo to return to my hand. That’s all I can do. Warning: I found the music on this video highly annoying. -via Time

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."
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.
