Magnified Metronomes

The Little Time Clock by Rafael Morgan

I think that if I ever want to try my hand at design, I will start with timepieces because there seems to be no end to the amazing creations achieved with this one device like the 'Little Time' clock, for instance. A simple analog clock, it features teeny-tiny numbers that are magnified when the hands reach it to tell the time.

Designed by Rafael Morgan, the Little Time clock is probably one of my favorite designs -- and that's saying a lot considering the amount of interesting clocks I've written about.
