The Stonehenge, sundials, and a whole litany of astronomical research from history show how man used a geometric understanding of the earth and the sun to plot hours, days, months, and years. This complex relationship has gotten us to where we are today, and the Mobius Calendar Clock pays tribute to that strong relationship.<\/p>\n<p>Part calendar part clock, this tabletop device comes with a unique sculptural quality that elevates it to the status of <em>objet d\u2019art<\/em>. Designed to captivate the eye, the Mobius Calendar Clock features a hollow twisted torus on the top, resembling the continuous physical properties of a Mobius s<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trip<\/a>. Rolling along the mobius\u2019 surface are two marbles, representing the sun as well as the earth, while indicating the date and month of each current day. Right underneath this is a pinhole clock that uses a dotted matrix to also tell the time in its own unique style.<\/p>\n<p>Designer: <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/zandesign.com.cn\/\">Zanwen Li<\/a><\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-454160\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/09\/draft\/mobius_calendar_clock_2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2023\/09\/19\/floating-marbles-help-this-hypnotic-mobius-calendar-tell-the-date-and-time-in-cosmic-style\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Floating Marbles help this hypnotic Mobius Calendar tell the date and time in cosmic style\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/09\/draft\/mobius_calendar_clock_2.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-454160\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/09\/draft\/mobius_calendar_clock_2.jpg\" alt width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2023\/09\/19\/floating-marbles-help-this-hypnotic-mobius-calendar-tell-the-date-and-time-in-cosmic-style\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Floating Marbles help this hypnotic Mobius Calendar tell the date and time in cosmic style\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/09\/draft\/mobius_calendar_clock_2.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-3\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<amp-ad width=\"100vw\" height=\"320\" type=\"adsense\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0648786275385337\" data-ad-slot=\"6683677248\" data-auto-format=\"rspv\" data-full-width><\/p>\n<div overflow><\/div>\n<p><\/amp-ad><\/div>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-1\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 4px; margin: 18px auto 20px; text-align:center;\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\" type=\"5a5f4746ee64596e39cd963c-text\/javascript\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"5a5f4746ee64596e39cd963c-text\/javascript\">\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-454161\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/09\/draft\/mobius_calendar_clock_3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2023\/09\/19\/floating-marbles-help-this-hypnotic-mobius-calendar-tell-the-date-and-time-in-cosmic-style\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Floating Marbles help this hypnotic Mobius Calendar tell the date and time in cosmic style\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/09\/draft\/mobius_calendar_clock_3.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-454161\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/09\/draft\/mobius_calendar_clock_3.jpg\" alt width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2023\/09\/19\/floating-marbles-help-this-hypnotic-mobius-calendar-tell-the-date-and-time-in-cosmic-style\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Floating Marbles help this hypnotic Mobius Calendar tell the date and time in cosmic style\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/09\/draft\/mobius_calendar_clock_3.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>The beauty of the Mobius Calendar Clock lies in just how uniquely it depicts the date on its curved surface. Rather than having a grid with numbers arranged by the week, the clock uses two floating marbles to tell the time. A yellow marble, representing the sun, points at the month, while a blue Earth-like marble points at each day. As days pass, the marbles \u2018orbit\u2019 the Mobius, resetting to their original position once the month\/year is complete.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-454162\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/09\/draft\/mobius_calendar_clock_4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1280\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2023\/09\/19\/floating-marbles-help-this-hypnotic-mobius-calendar-tell-the-date-and-time-in-cosmic-style\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Floating Marbles help this hypnotic Mobius Calendar tell the date and time in cosmic style\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/09\/draft\/mobius_calendar_clock_4.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-454162\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/09\/draft\/mobius_calendar_clock_4.jpg\" alt width=\"1280\" height=\"1280\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2023\/09\/19\/floating-marbles-help-this-hypnotic-mobius-calendar-tell-the-date-and-time-in-cosmic-style\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Floating Marbles help this hypnotic Mobius Calendar tell the date and time in cosmic style\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/09\/draft\/mobius_calendar_clock_4.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-4\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<amp-ad width=\"100vw\" height=\"320\" type=\"adsense\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0648786275385337\" data-ad-slot=\"1017606968\" data-auto-format=\"rspv\" data-full-width><\/p>\n<div overflow><\/div>\n<p><\/amp-ad><\/div>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-2\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 4px; margin: 18px auto 20px; text-align:center;\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\" type=\"5a5f4746ee64596e39cd963c-text\/javascript\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"5a5f4746ee64596e39cd963c-text\/javascript\">\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Right underneath the calendar is a table clock that uses a retro-inspired dot-matrix-style display to tell the time.
