Hasta La Ideas

“It has always confused me that clocks go round in a circle,” writes Tom Clark, a design student at London’s Kingston School of Art. “Time to me is linear, a one way trip, a thought that is both exciting and terrifying, and our clocks should show that.”

Thus Clark’s design for the Linear Clock:

“Linear is a mechanical clock that rises and falls, each drop marking an hour or a day.”

“A new way to watch the clock. A fully functional motorised clock that plays on our expectations of analogue and digital.”
