There’s something we start to take for granted in our everyday surroundings. Those black rimmed wall clocks are one of them. We always check to see the time, but all we really need to see is the placement of the hour and minute hand. The ‘clockwise’ number rotation starting at twelve and ending at eleven just feels commonplace.

If you want to give your brain a bit of a workout, then the Backwards Wall Clock will do the trick. The only confusion you’ll run into is that it starts at 12, and appears to count down to 1. It runs on a AA battery just like any other wall clock, but its novelty puts it in a slightly higher price bracket of $13. It’s not going to break the bank by any means, and it will be a fun change-up from the same ole same ole.
