A unique conceptual design of perceiving or expressing time through a more comprehensive time mode, indicating time not by a usual 12 hour schedule but through a 24 hour 365 day format whereby the representation of such time is reflective by scientific duration of a tangible time table of the earths revolution around the sun and or reflective by its reverse quartz display of numerical time and can be furthermore mirrored/sequenced by a complete time progression of a particular day while concomitantly accurately indicating the seasons by the earth movement along its axis, thereby transform time in a more scientific approach. The systematic method to time telling is a unlike any time indicating mechanism but adopts a more proactive & precise apparatus in having a scientific display through terrestrial appurtenances. It can further added that the time table of the earth's revolution around the sun can be of an actual physical representation of a two or three dimensional showing within the window display of the device. Furthermore, it's mirrored/sequence of time can be of a replica earth dial assimilating to corresponding time to geographical locations by generalization or actual time by movement of the earth's effigy encased in the earth dial. |

The invention relates to a clock comprising a clock face with hands and clockwork elements. Said clock face comprises a non-rotationally symmetric surface in the direction of rotation of the hands. The inner ends of the hands are rotatably mounted in a displaceable manner around a pivoting axis which extends in a peripheral manner with respect to the peripheral rotational axis of the hands and in a perpendicular manner with respect to the longitudinal axis of the hands. A control element is provided, enabling the hands to be pivoted in such a way that they can be displaced at an equal distance from the surface of the clock face as they go round. Said novel clock is characterized in that the hands on the inner end thereof or near thereto are rotatably mounted around a rotating axis extending in the longitudinal direction of the hands; the hands are flat in the visible region thereof; and a control element is provided, enabling the hands to be rotated around the rotational axis thereof in such a way that they can be displaced parallel to the clock face surface as they go round. |

An electronic timepiece with indicator hands having indicator hands capable of providing a variety of indications and capable of preventing unstable movement of the indicator hands, which comprises time hands (101, 102) for showing a time, first and second indicator hands (103, 104) provided separately from said time hands (101, 102), rotating means for reciprocally rotating said first and second indicator hands (103, 104) in directions opposite to each other within a predetermined range, and restricting means for restricting a movable range and capable of adjusting a restricting position of said first and second indicator hands (103, 104). Jumping of hands or the like of the first and second indicator hands (103, 104) due to impact or the like is restricted by the restricting means. Further, where there is a fear that the first and second indicator hands (103, 104) stop in a non-rotatable range, the restricting means is adjusted to change the movable range of the first and second indicator hand (103, 104). |

A water fall clock comprising a basin, the basin defining a water well, a water fountain, the water fountain being supported by the basin, and a transparent cover. The transparent cover is positioned on the basin and encloses the water fountain. The transparent cover is sized and shaped to encase the water fountain. The water fountain has at least one water spout for ejecting water within the transparent cover. The water fountain further comprises a water pump, the water pump is positioned within the water well, a water pipe, the water pipe extends between the water pump and the water spout and allows water to pass from the water pump to the water spout. The water fountain allows fallen water from the water spout to flow into the water well for recirculation by the water pump. A clock can further be secured to the basin, thereby creating a decorative enclosed water fall clock structure. A cabinet structure can enclose the basin, thereby creating a decorative enclosed basin. A canopy can be further added on top of the transparent cover whereby a clock can be secured to the canopy. |
