Parallel of Time. Clock.
John leung. Illusive Designs.
Design Description
Time is parallel.
The speed of time (on earth) is indubitable but everyone’s perception of the speed is somehow different. Using multiple clocks and cables to create a number of parallelograms, a design is generated: the Parallel of Time. The parallelograms are interconnected, creating an optically illusory axonometric timepiece.
Mechanically speaking, since the hands on every clock (within the same time zone) produce the same angle, the lengths of the connecting cables remain constant as the clocks run. The hour and minute hands are positioned on either side of the glass to prevent cable collisions.
Please visit “Parallel of Time” special site www.chc.com.au/clock to see a digital demo and get more info on availability.
