Whether you wear it as a pendant or use it as a desk clock, this spherical watch is bound to draw some attention. The students at the L’ecole D’arts Appliques designed this unique ticker with anthracite anodized aluminum casing and laser engraved figures.
The two hands show you what time it is - the white hand being the hour and the orange hand being the minute. These hands rotate around the sphere which displays the minutes on the upper hemisphere and the hours on the lower hemisphere of the clock.
