Sometimes designers completely stump me with their simple concepts like the Front and Back clock. Completely ingenious, the batteries that power this timepiece work double-time to also tell the time.
Designed by Giha Woo, the look of the all-white Front and Back clock is as simple as its concept. The eye is immediately drawn to the two battery hands that represent the hour and minute. I should mention that those batteries are included. Kudos to Woo for yet another amazing design.
