The Moss Clock watch model by Dutch design firm noktuku offers a surrealist aesthetic turning the face of the timepiece into a beautiful green haven covered in moss. Without the use of numbers or graphics, the Moss Clock simply tells the time using two delicate wooden hands coupled with two mini figurines seated on the hands as they move.
As described by the designer, "The noktuku moss clock contains the tops of real reindeer moss from Norway which have been meticulously selected by hand and preserved." This makes this clock design a living organism adding to the beauty of the overall design. The clock features a frame and arms made from Baltic plywood keeping the design simple and functional.
