Water Clock with Magnet

It appears that a water clock can be not only an antediluvian clepsydra. It’s enough to use a little bit of designer’s talent, some magnets and … here we are! We can make use of a very original and attractive device – the Water Clock. What is more this elegantly minimal clock lets you create your own custom time-telling device using a combination of plates, cups and liquid of your choice.
The new time telling device was designed by Kouichi Okamoto together with ceramicist Daniel Jo. The delicate clay base of the new clock has powerful magnets inside one from which runs a red ball serving as the hour-indicator, while the other one runs a white ball showing minutes. The two balls are swimming in a plate, cup or any other vessel filled with water. While the two spheres are magnetic, they’re actually buoyant, so if you fill up a glass with water, the “hands” of the clock actually float on the surface of the water.
The new clock is really original and looks minimalist and elegant. It can serve as an original interior clock which will look harmoniously in any room. But still there is one disadvantage. Be careful – don’t drink the Clock floating in the glass of water!
