Thorunn Arnadottir

The Icelandic designer Thorunn Arnadottir has designed a clock/measurement of time that challenges your common perception of it, even allowing you to wear 'time'.

Arnadottir explains how it works:

each bead in the necklace is 5 minutes. the whole necklace is one solar day. the orange and red beads

represent the whole hours. as the wheel turns, one bead falls off and drops down the string every 5 minutes.

to tell time one must count the beads from the silver bead (midnight) or the golden bead (noon) to the last

bead that fell off the wheel.

the necklace can also be taken off the wheel and worn.
