icelandic designer thorunn arnadottir exhibited a clock as part of this year’s 100% futures.
thorunn arnadottir explains how it works:
each bead in the necklace is 5 minutes. the whole necklace is one solar day. the orange and red beads
represent the whole hours. as the wheel turns, one bead falls off and drops down the string every 5 minutes.
to tell time one must count the beads from the silver bead (midnight) or the golden bead (noon) to the last
bead that fell off the wheel.
the necklace can also be taken off the wheel and worn.
