This is a very low cost make over project of your old, regular, common looking Analog Wall Clock, into a surprising, magical, illusionary looking new Clock.

This project would transform your clock with direct read our Pointers Magically moving inside the clock with no connection to the clock center or clock movement.

I carefully cutted the OHP sheet roughly to have a tight fit with clock mechanism, and applied applied little glue around it. And it worked

Good Idea, I'm trying it.
I have a question, how did you "join" de clock mechanism with the OHP "hands" to make them turn around?
thanks!

Nice job. Different while still being functional. You explain it well too.

Very nice work. Using the OHP sheets to make the floating hands is good in itself, but using the dials to hide the edges is positively INSPIRED. In a former employment I had occasion to deal with professionally assembled clocks of a similar type which didn't take such care, and which would cost several times what your version does.

Nice job! OHP is something new to me, though. What is it?
