Real Simple Cover Clocks

Design and Home magazine Real Simple is celebrating it's 10th Anniversary in their upcoming April issue. To reflect the issue's theme of "the gift of time" they commissioned three different clock designs by three different New York based designers: Boym Partners, Scott Henderson, and Harry Allen Design. The three different design will be featured on three covers, one after another in the issue. The first clock on the left is by Boym Partners; It consists of a framed clock surrounded by 6 images representing the numbers 1, 3, 6, 8, 9, and my favorite 12 (a dozen eggs). The middle clock is Scott Handerson's design which reminds me of the melting clocks of Dali. Lastly the third clock, by Harry Allen Design is yellow and only has one hand which has the word Past on the top and Future on the bottom. This is my favorite out of the three because of what the designer says about the design: "It's just this constant reminder to live in the present." In addition to the covers, a downloadable screensaver clock design by Alan Dye is available via the Real Simple website.
