Good Afternoon clock uses diffuse light as hands
This beautiful piece of design is called the Good Afternoon clock, designed by Japan's Mile Project. Narrow slits in the bezel let a bit of light through, which spreads out on the glass surface. These rays of light act as the hour, minute and second hands. It's both simple and innovative at the same time, a combo that results in truly elegant design. I want it.

Yeah, I want it too. It's amazing that as long as clocks have been around, no one thought of approaching it this way. Pretty cool.

I'm sorry, but I just can't trust any clock that isn't displaying 10:10.

Interesting concept.
One would think that different colors, or different light aim, could differentiate between minute and hour hands.
the second hand is obviously the dim, thin one, and would sweep fast enough to be able to tell.
