I don't know about it's practicality as an actual clock because it's a little hard to see with all the colors, but for an art piece on the wall it'd be great. I really like the color wheel type thing! -Sylvia <a href="http://www.SunDustGallery.com" rel="nofollow">art Gallery Scottsdale</a> I think this clock looks great!

I would love to have one if it was ever made into a working clock! I find it hysterical that some people can be so critical (some of the comments above)...probably just jealous that they didn't come up with the idea themselves.</p> I think this is an excellent piece of design.

I had this idea a while ago, and was amazed to discover there were 24-hour clock mechanisms out there. But I never built one.

I also mapped music’s circle of fifths to the color wheel, with C at yellow, G at orange-yellow, etc. If you gave your clock a corresponding set of chimes, those with perfect pitch would always know the hour….

I also had the idea of using the old kind of drop-leaf digital clocks for this purpose. And then I thought about putting little paintings on each leaf.

Too many ideas, too little time.

Well, let me know if these are ever for sale.
