The 'Life in Progress' Stylish Clock is Inspired by the Passage of Time

Designed by France-based designer Bertrand Jayr for Lyon Béton, the 'Life in Progress' stylish clock is inspired by the passage of time and the completion of days. Crafted from concrete, the 'Life in Progress' features a design that looks and operates almost like the loading symbol found on digital devices.

For each block of time that passes, the 'Life in Progress' clock has the small empty notches that are in place of numbers fill up to identify that the moment has passed and that another is at hand. This helps to visualize the passage of time rather than just visualize it in one's mind.

The 'Life in Progress' stylish clock features a Seiko quartz movement and uses AA batteries to be powered.
