This minimalist clock is striking in one major regard--rather than numbers and hands within the clock's interior, its hands are positioned outside the rim of the clock. The pointed hand is the minute hand, while the short, rounded hand is the hour hand.
This avant-garde timepiece is attractive and would look great in any contemporary home, but its numberless design may prove inappropriate for those who are prone to being late.
Implications - Oddly enough, I already know people who have trouble reading the time on watches that aren't digital, this certainly wouldn't make their lives any easier. But it would make them stand out as owners of an inventive and original watch. Decisions, decisions.
