What is TimeScape?
It is different for everyone. It’s kinetic art, it’s a
conversation starter, it’s a puzzle, it’s playful, it’s an hourly
chime clock, it’s colorful, and it’s for adults. I have been
creating wonderful art clocks since 1971. Enjoy.
Where did the
TimeScape
name come from? My design
was inspired by early twentieth
century artists, Mondrian
and Picasso. So what does this have to do with the name
–– absolutely nothing.

HOW TO READ & SET THE TIME?
TimeScape
(let’s call it
TS
) has 3 primary ways to display
the time. So there are 3 ways to read the time. You get to
choose.
Let’s start with something easy — reading the hour. All the
time display methods show the hour the same way. The
hour is where the red is lit, just like a normal clock face.
See below. Pictures help a lot.
4:00 o’clock
TO SET THE HOUR
Push and hold in the Hour Set Switch shown in the picture
below. Watch the Hours advance.
For fun, use the Minute Set Switch to add 2-3 minutes.
WATCHING
Watch it for a few minutes just to wet your curiosity. Notice
how it re-displays the time every 10 seconds. Notice the
sequence of first displaying the hour, then the adding the
minutes. Now let’s skip ahead from watching to….
HOW TO SET THE MINUTES
Note, using another clock that displays the seconds accurately
can be useful.
Hold in the Minute Set Switch. You can watch the minutes
advance. Here is what the display is showing. Pictures on
next page. The position of the yellow is
fives-of-minutes.
The quantity of greens (0-4) are the additional minutes.
