STYLISH TIME
Chilean-born, London-based designer Francisca Prieto is renowned for challenging conventions and twisting the traditional, creating innovative functional art. One of the latest and most impressive pieces from her work is the compass inspired ACW wall clock. Operating unlike any conventional clock, the ACW tells the time at the 12 o'clock point, or the north point of the compass. The time is read at the same point on the clock instead of following the hands. The circular clock face is laser-cut into a stainless steel square however the three-dimensional numbers that protrude from its surface dominates the exquisite appearance of the clock. The ACW (anti-clockwise) wall clock costs £1,700. Visit
