Description

Summary: rectangles. yes exactly.
Readability: hard
Examples: 02:46, 09:31, 11:02, 12:59

Overlay is a watchface made of three rectangles that tell the hours, ten minute increments and single minutes by their height. There are helping lines in the background and a scale on the right side. Each third marker is longer and the sixth one is even a bit longer. I avoided numbers on purpose to keep the abstract appearance of the display. The width of the rectangles defines how to read: the wider, the later. That's basically "left to right", how you normally read. The rectangles are transparent so they create new rectangles in the mutual overlay area and therefore a new little scientific looking artwork as time passes.
