Font clock by Established & Sons

Amazing clocks designed by Sebastian Wrong at Established & Sons. The Font Clock is a 21st century take on the British 24 hour clock design icon. Twelve different fonts are printed within the mecahanism of the clock providing a random, mixed display of the graphic language within a single timepiece. Font clock is offered in three sizes.

I cannot prevent myself from announcing you the exit of the new Apple website. The levels of navigation were reconsidered, the grid is really perfect, the use of the typography is limpid. A new standard.
