InclinoClock uses the glass level from a ball inclinometer to display the time. The ball remains at the lowest point of the curved glass under the effect gravity. So, as the inclinometer rotates the ball will align with the part of the clock scale that is pointing straight down. In the rest mode the clock just quietly hangs out at 6:00. With a touch of the button on top the clock first goes to find it's "home" position, i.e., all the way to the dot furthest to the left, and then it finds the current time to the nearest minute. The clock will pause for a brief time before returning its resting position at 6:00. At 12 noon the clock performs a show by rotating a full 360 degrees before once again settling in at rest.
 
The clock face is comprised of 13 white dots beginning with 12 on the far left, incrementing one hour at a time with each dot to the right, until it reaches 12 again on the far right. Even though the center of the ball is placed to the nearest minute there is some "guess-timating" involved given the width of the ball and absence of any hourly markings (Because we wanted a clean minimalist look we did not place any markings on the clock face).
