bookofjoe World Exclusive: Life Clock 3— Episode 2: The perceived acceleration of time as we age

In designer Bertrand Planes' very limited edition (a total of seven) Life Clock 2, featured in Episode 1 on August 15, 2008, "each number represents years elapsed since birth."

But who among us has failed to note that a year seems to pass increasingly quickly as we get older?

Thus, Planes' new iteration (top), news of which arrived here at 7:51 a.m. ET direct from the Paris-based designer himself.

His email follows.

hello!

you have shown "life clock" — a slowed time clock, here is the new life clock version.

this one: www.bertrandplanes.com/pages/LifeClock3.htm

seems to be relative time based (acceleration to match with time
perception).

sincerely,

bertrand planes

From his Life Clock website:

Life Clock

Life Clock 2 is absolute time based — each number represents years

Life Clock 3 is relative time based — time speed increases with age

....................

Once again, this latest edition is limited to seven pieces.

The clock is 51cm (20 inches) in diameter, the same as Life Clock 2 (pictured below).
