Aspiral Clock

The Aspiral Clock is a new type of clock developed by two London-based tinkerers, Will Aspinall and Neil Lambeth. The clock consists of spiral system that slowly rotates. A small ball is the indicator of time and as it reaches the center i.e. 12 o’clock, it falls through a hole and pops right back out at the beginning of the outer most ring.

The observer can tell the time by looking at the position of the ball. If it’s at the center point between 2 and 3, for instance, then it’s 2:30. The initial prototype was built out of beer cans and other scrap, and was a far cry from this polished product, which is hand built to order in London.

With the development in watch making, timepieces have evolved into mini gadgets on your wrist that perform various functions. With the release of the Reconvilier Hercules Golf Master Watch, the golfing community too is all set to benefit from the union of watch making and technology.

Combining a mechanical movement with a GPS application, the Golf Master enables golfers for the very first time to measure the distance to the green, front edge or centre! This original function is displayed on the front of the watch in metres or yards, while the reversible ‘Rotar’ mechanism provides a classic analogue reading of the time on the other side. The watch uses a base station ‘Caddie’ kept on your bag to obtain golf course data before the start of the game. On course, the data is relayed automatically from the Caddie to the watch.
