Swiss designer Matthias Pugin has made a crazy clock called Switchital which is a Moving 7 Segment Digital Wall Clock that works by moving hidden magnets which arrange bars of 7 segment displays. At first I thought this was a design simulation but I think it’s real! I would like to have a look at the guts inside the clock and the controller that is an amazing choreographer.
EDIT: Matthias just got back to me. It’s currently a concept but a prototype is in the works. I can’t wait to see how the internals are configured when it is built.

Actually I’m pretty sure that’s just a 3D animation of a design concept, it hasn’t been manufactured yet.

Not impossible, but the video is absolutely not real. Pretty cool idea though 🙂

The non-believers are correct… See the article for an update.

This is just a 3D animation and some renderings. But I’m working on a prototype…
