This ‘museum’ of stopped personal analog timepieces simultaneously functions as a working digital clock. The 720 watches are each stopped at a different minute, and they collectively display all the possible hour and minute combinations of a 12-hour clock. Only the watch showing the current time is displayed.

This app is a companion piece to the sculpture Museum of Broken Watches, by Rhonda Weppler and Trevor Mahovsky, shown at Nuit Blanche Toronto 2016, and first commissioned by Sheridan College, Oakville, Ontario.
