News Summary

• OVODYO is a desk clock built on two tumbling dice-like balls.
• Each ball is shaped like an icosahedron, a 12-sided solid closer to a fat die than a sphere.
• A differential mechanism drives each ball forward in fixed increments, tumbling it forward until the correct face rotates into view, then holding it steady until the next update is due.
• The hours ball carries all 12 hour marks across its faces, while the minutes ball splits into 5-minute intervals.
• Together the two objects can display any time of day using nothing but which face happens to be sitting on top at that moment.
