O Continue Time é uma criação do gabinete de design Sander Mulder. É uma edição limitada a 40 exemplares e a uma prova de artista. Tudo começou quando o relógio de parede lá do escritório caiu ao chão.
O Continue Time tem três braços articulados e dois deles giram em redor de um terceiro, em vez de sobre um eixo central, como é habitual. Assim, este relógio tem um comportamento quinético sempre variável ao longo das 24 horas.
Mas a leitura do tempo faz-se da forma clássica: o braço maior, com eixo no centro do mecanismo, faz de ponteiro das horas; o braço médio, ligado ao anterior, faz de ponteiro dos minutos; finalmente, o braço mais pequeno, ligado ao médio, faz de ponteiro dos segundos.
A explicação:Our office clock fell, causing the minutes - and second pointer to come off and they were just laying in the transparent cover. Witnessing the random patterns that occurred while the hour pointer still rotated, the concept for the Continue Time was born.
On this Continue Time clock, two out of the three pointers rotate around another pointer, instead of the central point on the clock face, as with traditional clocks. The resulting kinetic artwork, and fully functional clock, is continuously changing its shape during a full rotation of twelve hours.
While creating mesmerizing patterns on your wall the pointers are still read as with any traditional clock. The widest pointer ( attached to the clockwork ) shows the hours, the medium sized pointer ( attached to the hour pointer ) shows the minutes, the smallest pointer ( attached to the minute pointer ) shows the seconds.
