World Time Clock

Wonder if you got this: It's the World Time Clock from designer Charlotte Van Der Waals. Think it's an incredibly clever piece. I appreciate a lot the ability of seeing "upside down" things and problems :)

[There are four variations of the World Time Clock design. You can find them pictured together at Ameico. Each can be turned to one of 12 positions to indicate the time in selected global regions. I love the concept because I consider a regular 12-sided polygon (a dodecagon) to be the most aesthetically pleasing shape in nature. Maybe it's no accident that there are 12 hours in a day and 12 months in a year--also 12 pennies in an old English shilling, before the metric system came along and condemned us to the rule of 10, merely because we happen to have 5 digits on each hand. -- CP]
