At first, second or even third glance, it will probably be impossible to figure out how one tells time with the Manifold Wall Clock. Well, it is deceiving simple. One just has to look beyond the beauty of the fan-like contraption and see the traditional timepiece behind it.
Designed by Studio Ve, the Manifold Wall Clock features a fan-like feature that is attached to the hands of the clock. Rotating gracefully and time ticks away, it's easy to think of this more as a mobile art piece than a clock.
