London designer Sebastian Wrong reflects on living with the distinctive sound made by his 2007 Font Clock for Established & Sons in the latest movie in our exclusive video series.
Font Clock is a flip clock, which displays the date and time using a combination of 12 different fonts.

“It’s an important object for us as a family,” he explains in the movie, which Dezeen filmed in London. “There’s something very reassuring about the repetition of the sound.”
The clock comes in three sizes. A tabletop version, which just displays the time, and two larger wall-mounted versions, which also display the date and day of the week.
Wrong says the sound made by the large clock at midnight, when all the flip displays change at once, can be a bit startling for people who are not used to it.
