Yah but there is small flaw which is the time will be 5 minutes off from the original time when the clock is fliped. For example if the time is 9:00 and you flip it to the right, the new time will be 10:05pm. LIke wise if the time is 9:15 and you flip it towards the left, the new time will be 8:10.

Still, quite a good concept though =).

What kind of uptight company town are you on the manage side of? Daylight saving time gives people a semi-valid excuse to be late once a year.

No, if you flip the clock over, it will change one hour. If you look, 6 o'clock will always be at the base. If you change it, it'll either go forward one hour, or backward one hour.

Also, a little foldable stand in each 'base' would help.]]>Apr 18th 2009 4:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/18/ora-illegale-clock-tips-to-compensate-for-daylight-savings-time/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/18/ora-illegale-clock-tips-to-compensate-for-daylight-savings-time/

I once worked for a hardware store that had only a manager and one employee to open the store in the morning.

But at the same time, the minute hand is going to move back aswell, again, 1/1th of the clock face. Thats means it goes back an extra 5 minutes]]>Apr 18th 2009 9:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/18/ora-illegale-clock-tips-to-compensate-for-daylight-savings-time/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/18/ora-illegale-clock-tips-to-compensate-for-daylight-savings-time/The hands are in the same place on both clocs (Except the clocks are tilted differently)

But the black clock shows a time of quarter to nine (incorrectly might i add, because the hour hand is in the wrong position for that)
The white clock on the other hand shows a time on ten to ten (again, incorrectly, the hour hand shouldn't be dead on 10)

So yeah, the difference between the two clocks is 1 hour 5 minutes....

and this isn't really a very functional system]]>Apr 18th 2009 9:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/18/ora-illegale-clock-tips-to-compensate-for-daylight-savings-time/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/18/ora-illegale-clock-tips-to-compensate-for-daylight-savings-time/
Hour hand and minute hand are both on the 12. It's 12:00. Now tilt the thing for daylight saving. Hour hand and minute hand are both on the 1 now. It's 1:05.

Maybe they could have put the minute hand on a separate mechanism that can swing freely and has a bottom weight to maintain its orientation regardless of the tilt. But that would probably be very complicated to engineer. Instead, it looks like they solved the problem BY GETTING RID OF THE MINUTE HAND!]]>Apr 18th 2009 9:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/18/ora-illegale-clock-tips-to-compensate-for-daylight-savings-time/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/18/ora-illegale-clock-tips-to-compensate-for-daylight-savings-time/
