Why We Chose This
We're always looking for designs that not only present new ways of telling time but also challenge our conventional preconceptions around the passing of hours and minutes. The Author Clock presents time as characters, narratives, plot twists, cliff hangers, clues and more throughout a vast span of literature. As each minute passes, the Author Clock presents us with fresh inspiration, food for thought and intrigue.
