Time control is very important. Especially in our age of multitasking and high speeds.
But a wristwatch today is more of an accessory, because the phone has not only them, but also a lot of other useful applications. But sometimes you just want to stop and look at the watch, the creation of which the authors approached so creatively that time simply stands still in contemplation of this simple miracle.
Fountain
In 2005, an unusual object appeared at the Kanazawa train station in Japan - a fountain clock. The thinnest water jets appear in the form of pixels, and in addition to the time and date, the watch also displays the names of stations.
Auto

Ben Gurion Airport in Israel also has a clock. At first glance, they are ordinary. But if you look closely, the numbers are made up of cars that change their position every minute to reflect their shift. Such an original way to entertain passengers.
Roulette

Such chronometers are now out of use, but were actively used in the first half of the last century. The principle is simple and effective: the hand is fixed in one position, and the cylindrical dial rotates in a circle.
Waterfall

There is a clock in the shape of a waterfall at a subway station in Osaka. You can look at them, like any stream of water, for an infinitely long time. The drops fall with surgical precision, forming numbers that fly down, disappearing beyond the frame. In addition to time information, patterns, dates and other useful information are shown.
Training apparatus

This watch is sure to irritate many people. After all, a useful gadget designed to support cognitive functions and force you to perform simple arithmetic calculations can ultimately cause the opposite effect. One inaccuracy and hello, late.
Anti-clock

And in La Paz, on the building of the National Congress, the Bolivian authorities decided to install a clock that goes in the opposite direction. As a call to citizens not to be afraid to be creative.
Approaching disaster

A custom reminder was installed in Union Square in New York. The task of the climate clock is to show how much is left before the end of the human era if it does not come to its senses and reduce harmful emissions into the atmosphere. At the time of development launch in 2020, this time was just over 7 years.
Artist

To work tirelessly - this is the fate the artist Martin Bas assigned to his creation. A painter trapped in a clock at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport paints and erases tirelessly. Again he draws and erases time. Of course, this is a video in reality, but it looks very fascinating.
