It might seem goofy, but the A Million Times Clock By Per uses dozens of separate clocks to make a larger perspective timepiece that will tell the time. The design works by having each individual clock ticking at a certain time, which will then sync up with other clocks in the collection to tell the time in one unison image.

Complexing to say the absolute least, the A Million Times Clock By Per is a rather confusing creation to describe, but is nonetheless awe-inspiring. To the untrained eye, the creation looks like nothing more than [miniature clocks that combine](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/otsuka-lotec-no5-kai) to create gibberish. In actuality, the A Million Times Clock By Per is beautifully simplistic and challenges the [borders of perception](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trace-line) by proving that a little bit of elbow grease and a lot of cognitive processing can create something truly beautiful.
