As the domino is a common, well-known item, the Domino Clock “repurposes an icon.”
A set of three large dominoes, the Domino Clock tells the time with its “dots” that flip in a fun time-telling manner. Between the three dominoes, one is the hour while the second two provide the minutes.
Designed by Carbon Design, a product development consultancy, the Domino Clock has unique and thorough engineering that uses a magnetic actuator to flip the dots. The Domino Clock can stand free or be hung on the wall.
