The conceptual 'Bent Hands' analog wall clock by the industrial design studio UGLY.DUCKLING ID is a clever timekeeping decor piece that's stylish and functional. The wall clock is characterized by its namesake bent hand that wraps around the dial and features dots along the way. These indicate a specific time, while the range of locations across the surface will enable onlookers to quickly decipher the time of day in a specific location.
The conceptual 'Bent Hands' analog wall clock was described further by Gihawoo who said, "It is possible to see the global time at a glance by differentiating the size of the circle. The edge of the angled hand which was designed out of the attachment that the hands of the watch are usually straight shows the times in each country. It implicates the message that the world is moving together without breaking even though they are living in a little bit different time frame.”
