Wooden Wall Clocks have been around for a while, but this clock (wooden indeed) is actually a matchstick clock and as we are beginning the new time of this year, I thought I would share this little gem with you as it is really cool.
By the way this is officially my first day back at work after the nice long holiday and I hope that you all had a great Christmas and a Happy New Year and that Santa brought you lots of matches. So welcome back.
There are all different wooden wall clocks, but this one must have taken some time to build. It is originally by Christiaan Postma and it is made up from about 150 individual timepieces controlling all of the timing.
The matchstick kit clock only tells the time by hour, there are no minutes, but for me it is way to interesting to be worried about the minutes although I would love to see that as well.
I think people are just so cleaver. They keep coming up with new ideas and reinventing things we already have in new and novel ways and these wooden wall clocks are no exception.
They are simply brilliant and I want one.
If you would like to see the clock in action got to Christaan’s site and click on clock. You will see the 3rd picture there is a speeded up version of 12 full hours so you can see how the clock works. It’s very cool.
So although Christmas has finished I don’t mind if you rush out an buy me one of these wooden wall clocks!
Tick Tock!
