Architectural Clock of the Day: Daniel Weil’s “Clock for an Architect” — a private commission to create a gift for an architect.

Objects like clocks are both prosaic and profound. Prosaic because of their ubiquity in everyday life, profound because of the mysterious nature of time itself. Time can be reduced to hours, minutes and seconds, just as a clock can be reduced to its component parts. This doesn’t explain time, but in a way simply exposes its mysterious essence.
