Making Your Own Clock
The Meaning of Time is a brilliant clock concept perfect for all those crafty people out there. It supplies the mechanism to keep time, you supply the hour and minute hands. You can use just about anything as long as it fits thru the holes. I myself am partial to a barrel of monkeys. Perhaps a picture string of ex-lovers or even more sinister ants trapped inside a glass tube.

I want! Can you buy these?
This is excellent, if they aren’t an actual product they should be.
are U sure coz I have to homerwork is very very important really and thanx forr U coment jee take care see ya !!!!hi everyone!!!
hey this is very creative creation, love to get one!
Wowowowowo~~~!!
Really killing stuff!
When I first saw that photo and that headline I thought it said “make your own cock”. True story.
Now that’s something I want!
Great idea, well done.
That’s pretty clever.
Please build it !! I want to have one !
Its a novel idea, customizing the hands, artsy in a practical way (I love clocks).
pencils and stuff would fall out the holes as they are too short for the weight. Plus - how do you get the right width. Good idea without thinking it through - the holes need to be ‘engineered’ (ie. made to work) to fulfill the design.
flyboy: one word: glue.
xaxaxaxa great idea !
I want to buy it. How do I go about doing that?
Awesome concept!
I agree with flyboy, the holes could be improved, but I still love it
I like the simplicity of the design too as it is neutral to the end design of the clock. Add me to the list of eager potential buyers of this object.
Yah can be improved… In terms of making it into real product, exploration such as what is the energy used to moves the holes around, as the designer says FIT in anything…..
Sometimes, after looking into the mechanical factor, not only idea and design, it may affect the form again… and again….
With engineered holes, this will be beautiful! Think about changing the look of your clock as and when you get tired of what you see on your wall…
I want!
hum….how to say this without being sus…
: ) i’m going to buy it
great idea one question tho,?
How does it compensate for items that are different in weight/length? i long twig or pencil will generate a different resistance to that of a silver spoon or weighter item. minute/hour hands are usually very light items so as not to interfere with the accuracy of the time keeping.
where is the powersource. Nice in theory tho, but show me the reality..!
Hahaha ! This is the ultimate design …
I would like one of these myself.
it can be a real product
good idea
