Tell the time in words

The Tubular Time World Clock is perfect for those who prefer to use terms such as “quarter past” or “fifteen minutes till one” when it comes to telling the time, as there is no need to translate numbers into words before blurting them out to the poor sod who doesn’t own a timepiece of any sort. Mounted on the wall, time is shown in phrases and not numbers. The two halves alternate hours and 5-minute increments, changing time from half past eight to twenty five minutes to nine. Pretty interesting idea that’s rather expensive to bring home with its $160 price tag.
