Good design is about how a thing works, not what it looks like. This calendar and clock does not work well - I am willing to bet my entire life's savings in a psychology study that determines the reaction time to read the date + time of this calendar/clock vs. reading high contrast numbers.

Functional trade-offs for "coolness" - I didn't read that memo in Design school, sorry.

I saw this and immediately and intuitively read the face.

It clicked like no other clock design I've ever seen.

I may be in a .001% of people who see this and truly grok it, but that's fine. I'd wear a watch again for this.
