At first glance, the 'Archi di Tempo' might not look like an electric clock, but the ultra-modern device is indeed intended to provide users with an enhanced experience.

Easily [mounted on the wall](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bc17) thanks to the faceless design, the 'Archi di Tempo' tells time with [two separate arms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arrowatch). One arm dictates the hours, whereas the other shows the minutes. The embedded lights shine different colors and shift to convey the time in a more modern yet complex way.

The 'Archi di Tempo' electric clock is the design work of Bruno Tarabella and offers a somewhat cryptic view of time. Rather than simply display the current time, the 'Archi di Tempo' requires a bit of deciphering, which could be correlated to the very essence of time and how it must also be deciphered to be understood.
