The seemingly random etchings on the four vertical sliders of the Digimech clock move continuously up and down, but always align to display the exact time.
We love clever clocks like the Around Clock and the Crystal Weather Station, but the Digimech Clock is pure genius, reinventing the timepiece altogether with a retro-techno style. Electric motors move the sliders up in steps that align the shapes to display the familiar digits that make up a digital display and tell us the time. The sliders collapse back down again to start the cycle again at zero.
The design by number cruncher Duncan Schotton looks hugely complicated, wholly impractical and is probably unreliable too, but it looks great in action on YouTube.
