Sasa Clock
Maybe I’ve been under a rock, but I just learned about the Sasa Clock on Sunday while at the New York International Gift Fair.
Designed by Thorunn Anradottir and produced by HeadsUp Design Company, this clock is a gear upon which a color-coded necklace sits. The necklace resembles a rosary, and each blue bead represents 5 minutes. As the gear turns, every 5 minutes a bead drops indicating the passage of time. Orange beads represent hours and the gold and silver beads represent noon and midnight.
To tell the time, find the gold or silver bead, count the orange “hour” beads and then the blue “minute” beads until the last that has slipped down the cord. The idea behind this clock concept is to minimize the importance of the minutes to make the passage of time more enjoyable. Plus, you can take off the necklace and wear it!
