Buddhist texts indicate that we have been re-incarnated since "beginningless time". This clock is an alternative to the Big Bang Clock which assumes a universe with bounded time (at least on one end).
The Buddhist wristwatch has a single hand that sweeps around the perimiter in a smooth, continuous motion. There are no tick marks or labels, as the time is always Now.-- muppetboy, Nov 24 2002 N:OW Clock http://www.halfbake...idea/N_3aOW_20Clock"...the time is always now." [tyskland, Oct 04 2004] You could just paint the hand on.-- bristolz, Nov 24 2002 No, the hand should move, to indicate the passage of time, but the label saying "Now" should move around the watch face with the hand.-- hippo, Nov 24 2002 You can buy plenty of wristwatches with no tick marks or numbers.-- DrCurry, Nov 24 2002 I prefer to call the govt. service on the phone that says:
"At the third stroke it will be now, precisely."
......Or buy a parrot that can say "now" for a talking-buddha-clock!-- not_only_but_also, Jun 17 2004 can we have a super strong shaolin monk version you can break stacks of tiles with?-- etherman, Jun 17 2004 I definately think that the hand should move slightly faster than you would expect a "seconds" hand to move this would emphisise the futility of trying to understand it. If it is any consequence I have an Azan Alarm Clock that I bought for a joke on holiday.-- PainOCommonSense, Jun 17 2004 random, halfbakery
