This clock features a single vertical hand past which the hours, minutes, and seconds rotate with liquid-smooth precision. The metal dials are rendered so convincingly that you'll be able to feel their weight. A beguiling and novel way of telling time, SpinClock provides an entrancing and totally analog view of the current time of day. Watch this mesmerizing digital sculpture "spin up" smoothly to the current time, dial by dial, every time you start it. If you only want to know what time it is, your iPhone already tells you. But if you want to enjoy knowing, get SpinClock. You can customize SpinClock through the Settings application on your home screen, where you can choose the theme, adjust the spin-up time, and set how long it waits before auto-lock, so that it can be used as a night stand clock for your bedside table (be sure your device is plugged in).

This clock App is meant for all those users who like to get the time in unusual or challenging ways. This App can display the time in many different ways, like for example as decimal time (which was introduced in the French Revolution), as hexedecimal time (the idea goes back to the 19th century), as "Swatch Internet time" and many others. The most challenging clocks are the trigonometry clock and the PT clock, which requires some mathematical or chemical knowledge to interpret the time correctly. This clock is for "Geeks" ;-) The App shows the time in big letters which are easy to read even from the distance. So you can use an (old) iOS device put it on a shelf so it just shows the time. Feel free to make suggestions for other "geeky" clocks I can add in the future...
