A pretty nice design. The built-in tilting mechanism is genius: First reaction was "why would I want that?" but after thinking about it for a while, I could see using it a lot.
My only gripe with these mockups is the typography on the world clock. Why is there a period after the place:
new york.
9:00pm
seattle.
6:00pm
Very confusing image. But overall, good.

- Groxx 16y agoI thought about that a little, thought "yeah, that's kinda weird...", and then looked again. I actually think I like the periods: they break up the lines. An important difference between the mock-up and your example is that they're right justified; the period makes the locations stand out. new york. 9:00pm seattle. 6:00pm london. 2:00am tokyo. 10:00am vs new york 9:00pm seattle 6:00pm london 2:00am tokyo 10:00am note the wall-o'-text effect in the second, and the organization implied in the first.
- jonah 16y agoBetter yet, would be to make the city and time different sizes. Currently they carry the same visual weight so it's a list of new york,9:00pm,seattle,6:00pm instead of the intended new york-9:00pm, seattle-6:00pm
- fragmede 16y agoI think it's more weird that no one's objected to the four clocks. Even as a member of the jet-set elite, I'd think that local time is still most important in the general sense. Feature that. Have the global times underneath; gotta know when the markets open after all.
- ephermata 16y agoThat image reminds me of the Zune HD interface, actually. Same "wall of text" approach. I've noticed it's a love-it-or-hate-it approach. I happen to like it.
