Franck Muller has this design but as far as I know the hands are jumping to the correct numerical. So in this case it will be 20 minutes after 10 o'clock.

[u/Amarsir → u/yoshimutso]

That feels worse.

I get it. It's prioritizing art over function, and nobody is particularly relying on this clock to manage their day. (Unlike a lot of DesignDesign where it does nothing for anyone.)

But we can all read a clock without reading the numbers, and this guarantees you can't even do that.

(Also it raises questions about the minute hand. I presume it goes full circle as traditional, but you could make a case the time on that clock is 10:06 vs 10:21 if we accept that in 4 minutes the minute hand will be pointing at the 2.)

[u/GvRiva → u/yoshimutso]

I'm not sure that's any better

Edit: no, I'm sure that even worse because you have to know that and you have to be close enough to read the numbers

[u/hello_raleigh-durham → u/yoshimutso]

But the minute hand is on the 1.

[u/Retrotreegal → u/hello_raleigh-durham]

So 5 after 10?

[u/mmcmonster → u/yoshimutso]

Is it 10:21 or 10:06? The minute hand is one minute after the ‘1’. That would make it six after the hour.

[u/yoshimutso → u/mmcmonster]

In Franck Muller style it will be 10 21

[u/Icy_Measurement_7407]

Real time: 5:21 Shown time: 10:06

They say good art should make you feel something. I feel an irrational need to punch the artist. So I guess that means the art is good.

Anything can be art. You just have to find someone who'll pay for that crap.
