@jrmgx@mamot.fr @ellane@pkm.social The designer Ji Lee wrote "When I was a graphic design student many years ago, I had a class project to design a clock. ... I had the most obvious idea and designed this Redundant Clock. ... I found out that someone liked the clock so much, he made one and posted it on Reddit. The post was so popular, it became the number one post" https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1859831505/redundant-clock The watch version is available at https://www.ttt-watches.com/products/ttt-moma-exclusive-redundant-watch #watches #clocks #design

@jrmgx@mamot.fr @ellane@pkm.social The AI Overview (not asked for) for the reverse image search was almost entirely inaccurate: "The image shows a minimalist wall clock where standard hour markers are replaced with a single character or symbol repeated in different orientations. • The symbol at each hour position appears to be the letter "L" or the number "1". • The hands indicate the time is exactly 9:00. • The clock has a simple, modern design with a white face and a metallic rim. • The text "L 1 レー L" is visible in the top left quadrant of the clock face." #ai

@foldworks@mathstodon.xyz Ah, thank you most kindly for the additional information! It's apparent that people have taken the idea and created their own versions. The image I posted seems to have both hands of equal thickness, whereas Ji Lee's original version has the hour hand noticeably thicker. @jrmgx@mamot.fr
