Coolest Wall Clock Ever!! (Ham Yard Hotel)

submitted by Zawash

9 years 7 months 2 weeks ago

Gizmodo: One of the walls of the Ham Yard Hotel, in London, displays this amazingly cool wall clock composed by 135 traditional clocks. The hands are synchronized to display not only time but also beautiful geometric shapes.

I would actually find that more annoying than anything. As a piece of art, cool. As a clock, show me the damn time, I don't want to wait for 20 seconds to see that it's 10:33.

I thought it was AMAZING! I wish I could own one, but I want V 2.0 with color changing hands and faces to 'paint' pictures as well as geometric patterns. I would wait minutes watching this to get the time from it.
If you can't wait 20 seconds while being entertained by awesome art to know the time, it sounds like you need a watch! ;-)

Wouldn't be too hard to glue some round disks on top of an HDTV and create your version 2.0 as full-screen software... Would make a cool Raspberry Pi project.
