# Confusing Timepieces The Clocks Within a Clock Timepiece is a Unique Challenge By Carly Foy | Published 2011-04-11 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clocks-within-a-clock References: [bookofjoe](http://www.bookofjoe.com/2011/04/clocks-within-a-clock.html) & [animicausa](http://www.animicausa.com/shop/vmchk/Home-Accessories/Clocks-within-a-clock/tpflypage.tpl.html) A truly [unique timepiece](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/otsuka-lotec-no5-kai) known as Clocks within a Clock is available at the [Animi Causa](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iza-vase) boutique. What makes this clock extremely unique is its faceplate. Instead of numbers or ticks that are seen on traditional timepieces, the Clocks within a Clock has tiny dial arms that are placed to display the hour. The clock comes in three colors--black, blue or orange--and all dials are in white, measuring a foot long. The clock is the perfect piece for a modern home and would be an easy tool for teaching kids how to properly correct the time.
