Invotis Wall Gear Clock

 

Clock-maker these days are eager to get the hands off the clock. Why? As explained by the intelligent design of Invotis Wall Gear Clock– it’s all about coolness. Perhaps this does not apply to everyone, but I personally love looking at some of the high-end watches that exposes its tiny little gears working tirelessly to make sure its owner arrives at meetings on time. I think it’s cool – it proves that a clock is more than just the face and the mismatched pair of hands – it got some intricate machinery working behind it.

Since hands no longer qualify for the clocks of the 21st century, Wil Van Den Bos employs a small black arrow to point to the numbers that represent every hour. The numbers 1 to 12 are established on the circumference of the monstrous gear wheel. And while the wheel spins, so does the time. Don’t worry about any noise pollution in your house if you decide to bring this home – the gears work slowly and quietly.

2 D batteries are required to keep the gears going round and round, but the batteries are not included. The clock is 22 inches in diameter and 26 inches high – a perfect dimension to add some funkiness to a boring wall. You get to choose between several colours too. However, it needs a little setup that can’t go wrong if you read the instruction. Throw in some $125 to show the world how much you love engineering.
