Designer Johan Bisse Mattsson is testing my limits as a writer and yours as a reader. Let’s see if you can comprehend this: A clock, where the Second’s Hand rotates from the tip of the Minute’s Hand. The Minute’s Hand rotates from the tip of the Hour’s Hand. Confused? I know I am…so give it up for Einstein here and head over to the Hand in Hand Clock webpage, where you can experience this mesmerizing design first hand.
Currently the Hand in Hand Clock is implemented as a software solution. Drag the hands to change the time and zoom in and out by using your scroll wheel."- Article sourced from "Confuse Time, All The Time, Every Time", Posted by Radhika Seth, May.25.09 , Yanko Design.

This is such a clever and different way to design our ordinary everyday clocks. It changes the experience we read time by slightly adjusting mechanical features and functions of a clock. By not changing too much that it is still possible for anyone to read the time without any instructions given, instead of other clock or watch designs that introduces a whole different system of reading it, which is just not practicle. Also, I'd like to comment on how simple and easy it is to change the time with this clock, by simply dragging the clock's hands! No need to turn a wheel in the back of analog clock, or press on buttons number of times on digital clocks. This is a clock I'd like in my home!
