clock please help  

How odd that
the face isn't aligned so that the 3/9 axis is parallel with the table top . . . ?

the answer
needlez,
The item pictured is the Pio Manzù, Cronotime desk clock for Alessi.

.
it rotates, good idea but the numerals look a little large.

I wonder why.
Maybe it can be mounted @ multiple locations -- wall, ceiling, etc ?

well I'm not sure now, a case...
well I'm not sure now, a case of pseudo ergonomics?

more detail
Attached is a photo of the clock with slightly more detail and a link discussing this object.

A model website --
neat and informative. Thanks.

You are welcome
SDR,
You are welcome. I use this site when I research design items fabricated in plastic. I have always found it very informative.

thanks nice guy, after some...
thanks nice guy, after some further investigations i think the one i scored is a 1st edition reissue from 1986. can anyone confirm this?

another pic

go to the site provided
needlez,
You should go to the site provided and actually read the text. You will note: 2010 saw the reissue of black and orange colors of the Cronotime clock in ABS by Alessi. Your clock does not appear to either of these colors, so the process of elimination would suggest the your clock is the first version. Remember, reading is fundamental (that is unless you are Lit Up who states that "if everybody googled everything then there would be no discussion" and would prefer to speak based on ignorance).

ng, who says the guy who...
ng, who says the guy who does that plastic object blog is the last and final word on this stuff and everything he writes is fact?
i don't believe everything i read....i reached the conclusion previously stated from reading things, not just the thing you suggested i read.
now i am looking for confirmation on what i decided, not what it says on some random guys blog.
regards.

never believe what you read
needlez,
I am sure that since you were not able to find "some random guys blog" in the first place that you are probably smarter than most people and should never believe everything you read. You could not find a photo of an Alessi clock to begin your search, so it stands to reason that you are on the right track of being doubtful of what you read. Please do some homework on your own and stun the me with all the information you uncover. I will await your brilliant discoveries.

I read
all of that and can't believe I bothered.
