This Wall Gear Clock designed by Wil Van Den Bos is freaking cool. Its gears are exposed that slowly move around the clock as time passes. The time is specified by a fixed arrow as the labeled numbers gradually rotate past it.
Implications - It's a minimalist design that's effective in its subtlety and would look eye-catching in any home. As the name of the product suggests, the clock takes the shape of a large black gear at 56cm wide. There's also the addition of miniature gears that run the clock and the tiny white-tipped hour handle.
The Wall Gear Clock is the perfect piece for the modern home. It's simplistic, yet stylish, which shows that less can be more.
