Fake Clocks As Art

VVork Clock is Borked

How about a very cool interior design that is just borked? VVork did this really great clock, except it's not. It only displays times that the designer thought were appropriate for his masterpiece. Like 22:55 (it mirrors in digital display) or repeating numbers: 7:07; counting up or down; 12:34 or 5:43. Yeah! It's not a clock.

Thank Yasser Ballemans for that.
