Open Number Metal Wall Clock

Numerals cut so large they become the frame

A ring of black metal numerals, cut tall enough that they touch at the shoulders and hold each other in place. There is no outer ring and no face: the numerals themselves are the outline. A small wooden disc sits in the middle carrying two white hands.

Because the numerals are open shapes, the wall shows through every counter and loop, and the clock reads as a line drawing of a dial rather than as a dial. The wood centre is the only solid piece.

One version, in black with a wood centre.
