Rhei clock tells time with liquid Ferrofluid

Description Angle down icon An icon in the shape of an angle pointing down.

The Rhei clock uses a magnetic liquid called Ferrofluid to tell time. At each minute, the clock's magnetic field is programmed to change, moving the liquid in its display. The animation is unique each time it changes, so the clock never looks the same twice.
