What’s the long rectangular shaped product you see in the image above? Well, it’s a unique wall clock designed by Aleksey Belyalov!

The Long Wall Clock consists of a combination of two back and white components which gradually moves as the minutes tick by.

So, when it is morning, you can see only white and as the day progresses the black part starts to emerge alongside white. By the time it is night, all you can see is black.

Marks along this long clock give you precise readings but even a quick glance is enough to determine the time of day. Source: Yanko

The Lexon Around Clock, by designer Anthony Dickens makes the three arm traditional timepiece into a much more simple dial: this is an analogue clock showing time by the cylinder rotation and use the red wire to identify time.

The Effect:

A few minutes before the hour a number rolls down a track and a bell sounds. On the hour a cuckoo sounds and a new number indicating the hour appears at the right end of a row of numbers.

The Mechanism:

Cuckinetic is a true timepiece, run by an AC synchronous motor, like those in an ordinary electric clock. The dial of Cuckinetic is a row of cylinders that roll on an upper and lower track.

Mounted on each cylinder is a weighted wafer bearing a number. As the cylinders roll, the number remains upright and legible.
