VERBARIU BY ART. LEBEDEV
THE CLOCK TELLS TIME THE WAY PEOPLE DO
Verbarius is a clock that reads time in a humane manner, for example ‘fourty five minutes past four’, ‘fifteen minutes to five’, ‘four fourty five’ or ‘a quarter to five’. When it reaches midnight, it says just that. Not to be defined as a traditional clock, Verbarius is more like a time box with ‘subtitles’.
Complete with English, German, French, Spanish and Russian settings, you could also download alternative languages from your personal laptop. Verbarius requires 110/220V power source or batteries. The ‘smile button’ on the side even allows one to change the screen colour contrast.
