Art Lebedev's Reflectius clock tells time with a single laser beam

Art Lebedev managed to impress us with its Segmentus analog clock last month, but it looks like the prolific design firm has now already outdone itself with its new Reflectius clock concept, which uses a single laser beam and sixty rotating mirrors to display the time. That impressive mechanism is matched by the clock's angular exterior (pictured after the break), which Art Lebedev describes as "a complex triangulated surface that reminds of the complicated trajectory the beam of light travels in no time." Unfortunately, it is still just a concept, but you can at least get your usual glimpse of Art Lebedev's design process at the source link below.

"Reflectius features sixty rotating mirrors that successively reflect a single laser beam at precise angles to draw numbers."
it's the first line after explaining the problem on the source page
You know, I have one simple request. And that is to have a clock with frickin' laser beams!
OK so finally there is a simple looking piece of design BS on this site and you guys DON'T use the word minimal for once? What's going on?
These guys are the kings of creating the coolest shit no one will ever buy.
how do you set the alarm?
Would make a nice HTC Touch Diamond 1 dock.
lebedev is the only person who thinks about design in russia.
Wow! What a clock. What about the price tag?
How much is one of these bad boys gona set me back?
