The Contemporary Ball Clock is a revolution (no ball pun intended) in clock design. Uncluttered by the gawky hands of a conventional clock, the clean face has nothing on it but the numbers & a red ball, & the ball isnt even attached to the face. You see this clever clock actually has a hand inside the clock (so much cooler than on the outside). On that hand is a magnet, you can see where were going here, & in the red ball is a magnet, so of course as the hands sweeps along, it carried the ball with it. Naturally its not a clock for people who are obsessed about the minutiae of time, as the ball follows the hours, so you can tell that its about 9.15, but not 9.07. Lifes way too short to worry whether its 11.08 or 11.15 in our opinion, & frankly when youve got a clock this cool on your wall, who on earths going to care. We also love the fact that you can take the ball off. Not because its remotely useful to do that, but its just kind of fun & clever. It measures 24cm across & is powered by a single AA battery. Clean & contemporary, its a clock for people too cool to care about minutes.
