Gumuz Word Clock

Behold the Gumuz Word Clock. See it in action here. It's pretty clever, if not all that original. Instead of representing the time the way me might traditionally, with hands and numbers, this clock is using words that illuminate to write the time as most of us would speak it. Now, while this design does limit its minute resolution to five minutes, I still think this concept would make for a great addition to a casual, leisure time space, where five minute resolution seems like looking at the space time continuum with a microscope.

This clock is in keeping with my continuing aim to challenge the commonplace, and there are few things more common than the humble clock. Why should commonplace be boring? The things we use every day, should be the objects with the most care taken in their design. Without trying to sound like an out of control consumer, replace the things around you that don't make you smile. Don't waste an opportunity to be inspired by good design.
