Two Timer Clock Does Dual Time Zones, Handy for Away-From-Home Bloggers

This name of this product is something to be cherished—way to go Industrial Facility, the guys behind this wall clock. A second dial gives the Two Timer a melted effect, and if I had one of these, maybe I wouldn't cock up my time stamps on Giz so much. Coming in two sizes and three colors—black, white and red, the Two Timer is available from up-and-coming furniture makers Established & Sons. [Dezeen]

How are you supposed to tell time on the small one?

@bailey_ca: Way to go me, let's try and make even less sense with our next comment! I meant: "Please tell me you were kidding. My sarcasm detector doesn't work at this early hour. Surely you jest."

This is good if you're an ebay-junkie. The one could be set for PST.

Good idea for working with international virtual teams (or calling relatives overseas) as I can remember what the hell time it OVER there. (There is at least one time zone that uses a half hour differnce too, they REALLY screw me up.)

@bailey_ca: Oddly enough, I actually understood the first statement...

Although, I do slightly agree with hammertime1994 that the smaller one is a tad awkward to read. Definitely readable, but a bit awkward.

It's fine if you're actually fairly close to each other, time-zone wise. But analogue clocks suck when the time difference is larger - I have 10 hours time difference to my parents, and this kind of thing would be a lovely gift to them if it would actually include the "is it day or night over there darling?" part on it.

@hammertime1994: I'm pretty sure that (from the small clock's point of view) the 6 and 9 o'clock markers are supposed to help you form an imaginary line straight through the center in order to approximate where the 12 and 3 should be.

Does that make sense? I feel I can't explain without using a finger and pointing.

@SgtMac02: I guess I see what you guys mean. I guess I've just become accustomed to having clocks with no markings on them. I'm always late, anyway, so it doesn't matter to me if everything is "5:40-ish" or not!
