First there were sun clocks, then there were analogue clocks. As technology advanced, the digital clock was invented in 1956, and was later adapted to the wrist watch. But in the last fifty years there has been little advancement in the way that we tell time, at least until now. Neolog, a company based in Germany has set out to redefine the way that we tell time. Their new watch, the NEOLOG A24 II uses groups of lines to divide time into intelligible units: hours, units of ten minutes, and units of one minutes. By grouping these units in blocks of three, it makes it easy and rapid for the wearer to interpret the time. This sleek way of displaying time makes the watch as much as a fashion statement as a convenient and effective way of telling time. Just the thing to make sure you catch your plane on time with style.
