Don't be surprised if the next time you visit your psychiatrist you see them wearing the Rorschach watch. The Rorschach watch was designed by Samuel Jerichow and uses the famous abstract ink blots to tell time.
Telling time using ink blots is admittedly a little difficult at first. The blots of ink that appear on the watch's face don't give much in the way of hints. It is only when you look inside or around the ink, depending on the time, that you will start to see the numbers form.
After a few (many) practice sessions, telling time using the Rorschach watch becomes a breeze. After you've mastered telling the time, you can start to enjoy the unique look of the watch's face. Seriously, what other watch has an ever-changing inkblot for a face?
