Buyral – Professional Clicking

I love the design of this clock! Initially, the time is not immediately obvious, but once you learn the interface it’s fine – and it looks fantastic!

The clock is composed of just three moving circles that indicate the time in a new and intuitive way. The large and medium circles that make up the main clock face rotate to indicate the hour while the smaller circle within the medium hour circle indicates the minutes. It also glows in the dark, making it easy to tell time at night.
