These handless clocks were crafted by a Dutch designer named Sander Mulder. This clock has an unusual face with no hands where it tells time by rolling around slowly on a table. His concept of excluding the hands allows users to simply relax and let time pass without being too concerned about it. This clever and modern design would be the perfect addition to a desktop or office where users may contemplate time.
When viewing this clock, it would only display something like “it’s about six o’clock” or “it’s almost seven now” as a simple way of telling time. There's no need to actually be precise with this clock so you can sit back and relax. These new handless clocks can be purchased for $170 USD on the website.
