The way the hands on the Orbits Clock move is out of this world. Designed by [Studio Ve](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orb-lamp1), the carbon fiber wall clock features [rotating circular hands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pioneer-flying-hours) that resemble the orbital pattern planets observe. The three different loops move at the appropriate rate of time and similarly represent the conventional time markers (hour, minute, second), but take creative liberties where standard lines are typically seen. Gold markers are also used to indicate the time.

The visually appealing piece provides a stunning center piece for any room. The Orbits Clock has a "light and airy feeling" space enthusiasts will love. The [atom-like design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-hole-tourbillon) lends a futuristic vibe to the design-forward decorative element. Whether it's hung in a kitchen, library or bedroom, you cannot go wrong.
