Nothing irritates more than tampering with something that fundamentally works. But there’s something about Lye’s reinterpretation of the humble clock that, frankly, works. The hour and minute hands have been positioned on the outer edge of the clock face rather than the normal clock look – the hour and minutes hands in center. The unusual features make it a distinctive looking product that imbues style on any space. Its minimalist design that sits well in any environment. From your home, office space to living rooms or kitchen walls. Clearly it will make us all feel like we’re four again as it will take some time before you can read the clock hour and minutes, but it’s visually superb!
