Red Time 1

I’ve finally finished designing and making my first 24 hour clock. At the top of the clock is a full sun representing noon and at the bottom is a group of stars representing midnight. It is framed in chrome. I call it Sonipa Red Time. It’s real and it works!

Like a regular clock, the small hand shows you the hour and the large hand shows the minute. Only instead of only having 12 hours there are 24 displayed (left side is AM, right side is PM). You no longer have to be confined to seeing half of your day… You can click on the images to view a larger version.

holy cow thats awesome! i love everything about it…especially that it will confuse the crap out of little kids that are trying to learn to read the ‘normal’ clock.

That is sweet! I want one… but I want one with PM and AM added… it takes too much thought to remember which is which.

no but really. You should patent your design Dave. Where did you get the movement? I want a wrist watch like this.

Hey dave! I go my movement from a clock store in Wisconsin. It’s a converted military time movement. Converted in the sense that it had to be modified to use regular hands …. Modified in the sense that I jammed a screwdriver in it.

Since one of the ideas is to split strings not into words, but hopefully into phrases more semantically informative than the words they are made of, doing that better should mean better suggestions, and avoiding what essentially are word n-tuples should make for smaller data and slightly faster querying.

[…] My watch got me thinking about a better way to make the Sonipa line of clocks I’ve been working on. Using thin LCD panels cut to a specific size (which would have two settings- on and off) mixed with a simple circular frame a tiny bit of logic to cycle the panels it would be possible - and it would ship successfully - which is the problem I have with the hands version (link, link, link) […]
