The Hours: Measuring Time with Wooden Beads

May 14, 2012

A beaded necklace makes an ingenious clock.

Some of the best ideas are dead simple: case in point, the Sasa Clock by London-based Icelandic designer Thorunn Arnadottir. A recent graduate of London's Royal College of Arts, Arnadottir uses a beaded necklace rotating on a mirrored carousel to mark the passage of time in five-minute increments. Want to stop time? Take the necklace off and wear it.

First spotted (and coveted) at the Future Perfect. For more on the designer, go to Thorunn Arnadottir.
