About Time – The Worlds Most Casual Desk Clock

In an age where it seems that we are constantly clock watching, this About Time Clock designed by Buro Vormkrijgers offers an altogether refreshing and decidedly laid back means of time telling. In fact, it’s so chilled out that we’re surprised that it doesn’t come with a bear attachment and point black refused to work unless Nick Drake or Floyd is emanating from your stereo.

Measuring in at 9” in diameter, the innovative About Time Clock has been designed to sit on your desk and slowly roll in an orbit as time passes – the time being relayed via a single sentence imprinted on the outer edge of the clock’s otherwise empty face.

No numbers, no hands, just words offering a general notion of the present time such as ‘It’s about six o’clock’ and ‘It’s almost seven now’.

Stylish, modern and unashamedly minimal the About Time Desk Clock retails for $179.

As a footnote, if you’re looking for an equally chilled out take on time telling that offers a digital take on things you may be interested in the previously featured (and equally brilliant) Humane Time Writing Clock.
