DABs Clocks is a collection of hand made, one of a kind devices that each display time in unconventional and interesting ways. These time pieces are both functionally and aesthetically pleasing. I design and build some of my clocks without any assistance. For others I turn to Guy Marsden for the engineering and fabrication phase. In these situations I bring a concept to Guy and through an iterative and collaborative process I'll eventually create a 3D representation of the clock that Guy will build.
HypnoClock
-Hourly Time-
Challenges
1. Coding!!!
It's more complicated than Lux. In fact it may be heading into the territory that became problematic for Lux and ultimately was abandoned.
Pros
1. Engineering/fabrication
a. No Satinice screen or LED array
Like Lux it tells the time to the nearest hour (the arrow head). At the quarter hour (12, 3, 6 and 9) it enters its hypnotic phase and rotates 2x counterclockwise, comes to a slow stop, rotates clockwise to the home position (12), pauses, and slowly returns clockwise to the current time. It would be nice if a motion sensor could be used to activate the disc for 1 minute. The clock would then go home on it's way back to telling the time.
