Blogless: Blog of Design Less Better.

Ora ilLegale Clock

A minimalist solution to daylight savings time, assuming you don't have cats or small children.

Designed by Denis Guidone, the Ora ilLegale Clock has a numberless face that, when tilted on its side, adds or subtracts an hour from the time. An ingeniously simple means of addressing the problem of resetting one’s clock when the time changes.

It’s not yet available, but is due to be manufactured soon by NAVA and for sale at the MoMA store in a year or two. Bravo!

That would be great if Daylight Savings Time meant you had to change your clocks by hour and five minutes. I might have got one.

Oh! There is no minute hand! Cool, that’d be right then - couldn’t see if the the minute hand was covering the hour hand in the photos…

Of course, if there was a minute hand, it would touch the mantlepiece and the clock would eventually roll off!
