You know those analog clocks which are nothing but a pair of hands on a spindle, distilling the function of the timekeeper down to its bare, concentrated essentials? The Black & White Clock is like that, only it’s digital.
The clock consists of numbers only: no case, no background, no nothing. Four OLED shapes mimic the classic seven-bar design of the digital readout and internal light detectors tell the numbers whether it is light or dark. The digits then become either black or white depending on the ambience.
The clock is beyond prototype stage and the clockmaker, Vadim Kibardin, is looking for a manufacturer. Even though it is technically still a concept design, though, there is one problem we see: It runs on Li-ion batteries, which means recharging, although the mention of “accumulators” on the spec sheet gives hope that stray photons might be pressed into charging service. We guess there’s a reason clocks have cases after all. Still, good luck to Kibardin on finding a fabricator.
