Samuel Jerichow's wristwatch concept is an intriguing attempt to reinvent the way that the hour is represented and read. Can you make sense of it?

Beginning in the top left corner of the rectilinear face, the indicating line extends and branches out to pass points and terminate in places that align with the familiar 12-part dial.
