Today, we launched a little community project. Here at Iridesco, we naturally think a lot about time and recently have been fascinated by all sorts of beautiful public clocks we’ve encountered from various travels. We decided to put the two together and create a community-powered timepiece, gathering clock images from around the world. Take a moment to enjoy true craftsmanship from around the world.

Great project! Have you seen the mac desktop clock that has a photo of found typography (numbers) for each minute?

I think you’re referring to the Bludot clock?
