Description

A long standing project to create a desk clock which uses the same approach as that of the 'LightTime' clock at the top of Central Plaza, Hong Kong. The clock comprises four lanterns, each of which is triangular. The lanterns shine in one of six colours with the combination of colours giving the time of day to a 15 minute resolution.
