A clock that use literary quotes to tell you the time

I love this Author Clock show above. It…

…uses passages from literature that have mentions of the time in them… so at 9 o’clock, the clock shows a passage from The Great Gatsby that has the phrase “9 o’clock” in it, and at 12, it displays verses from Hamlet when the clock strikes 12. Ultimately, the Author Clock turns something as mechanical as the ticking of hands into something much more whimsical and joyful… especially if you’re a bookworm or a lover of literature.

Brilliant! You might think it’s not possible that there would be a quote for each minute of each day, but apparently it is.  For more on it, see this piece: This absolutely genius clock uses actual quotes from literature to tell the time! from  Yanko Design
