Here’s another clock designed by Giha Woo and Shingoeun (see their clock with a battery for hands in our earlier story), this time with a single spiralling arm to indicate the time in different countries around the world.
Called The Bent Hands, the clock face features countries written inside concentric circles, with linked points on a spiralling arm indicating the time.
The product is part of a series of work by the duo entitled The Wrong Objects, which they presented at DMY Berlin last month.

Really a great concept but there is a problem not solved:
For each country daylight saving time start in a different date.
It cause a dilatation/reduction of the time.

Magenta100 you are correct!
I have not checked if they list only countries that follow the same guidelines for daylight saving time.

it will be better to sign every dot with the same color of the city. it will be more obvious for fast looking. in case if this clock is not near you.
Free advice.

I don't get it. It looks nice, but I don't understand how to read it. I should be able to look at a glance and get the information I'm looking for..

Dave you should get a BIG digital clock if that what you are looking for….
This design is made for people that would sacrifice functionality for design and uniqueness.
