Designer Leo Yiu has created this unique time-piece for clock manufacturer Nextime. The ‘Insert’ wall clock, which is sliced from one side to create a flat edge for mounting, looks like it is actually protruding out of the wall. Crazy, right? The Hong Kong-based designer alters the viewing angle to present “a simple idea to change the way we see the clock.” The ‘Insert’ wall clock looks pretty cool to me and would definitely give your co-workers something to talk about.
