Basics
The Ring Clock is – wait for it! – a ring, like pretty much any other, albeit it is a bit taller and a little bit thicker. It is composed of two key elements, an inner belt that is fixed in the sense that it does not rotate around your finger, and an external ring frame that carries all the numerals and spins around the internal, fixed belt. It indicates the time with LEDs and cut-out indices set on three tiers. The top being a 24-hour indicator, below it you find the minutes, and at the lowest level are the small squares for the seconds. The external shell with all the numerals can be spun freely and easily, with little, nicely weighted resistance (the easiest way to achieve this when you wear the ring on your ring finger is to reach across with your thumb). The reason it spins is because that is how the LEDs are triggered – more on that a bit later.
