Some aggressively modern clocks have such bold design features that it can be difficult to actually make out what the time is, and the 'Edge Clock' is a contemporary wall unit that seems to gently tease that concept. Rather than obscuring the hands that indicate time, the clock exaggerates them, with massive wires that extend far beyond the clock face itself.
In some ways, the Edge Clock, from designer Shay Carmon, is very much in line with the aforementioned contemporary clock designs. It doesn't have any numerals, and it adheres to a simple black and gold color scheme. However, its far-reaching wire hands are its key design trait, with both the broad hour hand and the long minute hand taking up a healthy amount of space on any wall.
