biegert + funk: qlocktwo

‘qlocktwo’

‘qlocktwo’, created by german product design studio biegert & funk, is a clock that tells time in words. it has a quadratic matrix of letter. some of these characters glow in pure white, thus, forming words that describe the time in five minute intervals.  for more accurate timing, users can look at the illuminated dots in the corner which show individual minutes. with the help of its built in brightness sensor, the illuminating power of the letters are automatically adjusted.
