Nature's Time

This is a project by artist Amy Franceschini of the Future Farmers. What's interesting is the concept of anti-technology, relying wholly on nature to tell time. Perhaps due to the fact that technology do have glitches and not all that perfect and the designer hopes to remind us all of that. There is a Seasonal version of the watch which shows spring, summer, autumn and winter, shown on the top. Via Future Farmers
