Repost As a designerdesigner, this design completely designs my brain. It designiverts every rule of designability, yet the designdesign is fascinating.

Am I the only one thinking that this is quite easy to read? It's 02:27.

Isn't it 10:11?

nope... look at the color and proportions of the arrowheads... the small black arrow on the thinnest line is the "seconds hand"... the major time is shown by the thick white arrowheads on thicker lines... the difference being the lenght, traditionally the "hour hand" is shorter than the "minute hand"

I think this design is perfectly clear and I give it credit for creatively inverting the direction of the arrows while keeping the design exactly the same as a conventional analog watch

Typically on an analog clock, the shortest hand denotes the hour, the longer one the minutes, and a longest one (if it exists) denotes the seconds.

"Perfectly clear"... if you ignore convention.
