Nowadays timepieces, be they wall clocks or wristwatches, seem to attract designers worldwide, prompting them to depict time in their own way. We have covered a number of interesting timepieces in the recent past, but the “Clock in a jar” by Oren Hetzroni, a student at the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in Jerusalem, sits atop them all. Based on childhood memories of capturing insects in a jar, the clock presents an attractive ticking movement of the hands as a flap of a butterfly’s wing. Curse it or appreciate it, the new clock by the Israeli designer requires a tactile interaction in order to be read, as vertical hands move around the edge of glass vessel featuring the hours on its surface.
