Weird Clocks

Geoffrey Cooper has designed some extraordinary and rare piece of wristwatch: the Geocentric watch shows time moving concentric rings that moves reminding us the movement of planets across their orbits.

The idea is to show a mesmerizing movement of the rings at the same time that tells you the time ;)

For now, this is just a cool concept watch.

The new Louis Vuitton Tambour Mysterieuse Calibre LV115 boast magic floating hands (and extremely luxury watch!).

Hands appear to be floating and the trick is: two transparent sapphire disks supports hour and minute hands ;)

Made of gold and steel you will have to sell a kidney to buy it: $ 265.000. Yes, it's not a mistake. More than a quarter million dollars, but hey. Louis Vuitton gives you get not only the watch but the possibility to customize in the way you want ;)

Fantastic timepiece. The new Hamilton ODC X-02 is a multiwatch: you can have up to three time faces of analogic watches at the same time in your wrist. Three big valves inserted at the top of the frame controls each of the faces.

With a futuristic and clean design is specially designed for people who travels the world (even is modelated after the cross-section of an airplane wing).

Made of titanium, will cost you $1.750.

Sometime simple old things come alive in a totally different and unanticipated way.

This is clearly the case! This ticking clicky-clock amaze with it's simplicity and design that contrast with the apparent complexity.

Not safe for "kids at home" ;)

The "Delay" clock (that is called) is 35x35x48 cm, made with inox. metal, and came from the Netherlands.

This nifty clock will make some of you remember those pin art toys back in 80's. In that toys you push some shape (or your face) against a pin covered board so it displays the shape.

This clock uses the same principle but to show you the time in a fashion 3D way.
It's an analogic/digital mixture since it displays digital numbers using analogic mechanism (3,000 pins!).

Don't spect some advanced features, It can only display time... but, anyway this is the main goal to a clock isn't it?
