A lot of designers have taken a minimalist approach when it comes to wall clocks these days, and China's Yiran Qian certainly fits into that category with his "Vice Versa" clock. However, being gadget geeks, we do appreciate the inclusion of a digital interface on the hands. It's a truly unique way to blend the aesthetics of an analog clock with the functionality of a digital. It's only a concept at this point, but I wouldn't mind glancing at this clock in the morning when I'm running late. -Sean Fallon [Designboom]

There's nothing like waking up early in the morning, not having to turn on the light because your wall clock has illuminated digits, then trying to figure out what time 11 past 43 is.
I'll take one. Without the spazzy scrawling on the wall behind it.
I'm not sure about the numbers on the hands – they would just be confusing in my view, you can work out what the time is by the hands alone. As King Rolo says, I would be one of those people wondering what 11 past 43 meant!
