Shattered Clock Says that It's 3:55 - Neatorama

Igor Barbashin and Daria Volokhova designed the "Shattered Clock." Numbers break apart and form together. The hour number that is the least broken represents the closest hour to the current time. The minute hand tells you, well, the current minute. So it's 3:55. The designers write:

The "Order in Chaos" clocks - is a vivid illustration of the self paradigm to overcome the anarchy in you and connect with the universe. This clock is an example of a strange relationship between order and chaos.

Why isn't it 4:55? Because it's not broken enough?

Never mind - I watched the time lapse and discovered that I'm an idiot.

"This clock is an example of a strange relationship between order and chaos."

No, it's an example of pretentious horse hockey pretending to have some real purpose.

Yikes, i could only tell the time if it was near the hour mark.

actually it's pretty neat. you can tell the time from one glace instinctively. the half opposite to 4 is completely shattered while you can almost see the numerals around the 4. even it it's 4:30 you'd be able to recognise the 2 less shattered numerals to see the time immidiately.
i'd really love to have this clock...

Art produces ugly things, which frequently become more beautiful with time. Fashion, on the other hand, produces beautiful things, which always become ugly with time.

I've really lost any respect for anybody who calls themselves a designer of anything.

The clock is cool, but the "is a vivid illustration of the self paradigm to overcome the anarchy in you and connect with the universe" crap is irritating... ...and vague enough to apply to a Kit Kat Clock or Chia Pet.

Hmmm..this clock is a bit of a jumble. Reminds me of those binary clocks that you see the coding nerds have on their desks.
Here is another post with an amazingly cool clock. It is real time and shows someone ticking the seconds away.

This is pretty neat, but $2000? Really? I'm sorry, but if you have two thou to spend on a clock, I've got a steel-tipped boot with your groin's name on it.

For those of you who have named your groins.
