Bulbdial Clock

I Lost My Fangs!!!!

This clock uses no hands, instead it has a pole in the center, and three "street lights" revolve around it in circles of different radii.
Inner most being the shortest casts the longest shadow and thus acts as the seconds hand, henceforth middle one is for minutes' hand and outermost is for hours.

The first thing that came into my mind about this clock was, "awesome!!" , but the next moment i thought that if i get one where am i gonna place it!!!
It would be really awkward to place such a clock a wall, hence u ll have to keep it on some horizontal surface, like a table or so (like sundial clocks are placed).

Despite of this drawback, it is nice and i want it badly.

Thought of the day: "If you want to feel rich, just count all the things you have that money can't buy"

makes no difference what orientation clock is placed since illumination source to face relationship is retained, unlinke a sundial where a change in position would affect this relationship.
