Simply watching the GIF relaxes me. In my view this clock picks up where the sundial left off. Maybe, we can add a 4th circle to their image of the evolution of clocks for ~150BC.
Today is a beautifully designed clock that has a single hand, which takes 24 hours to complete a single revolution. It reminds me more of a clock you'd see on your phone, but on your wall. I mean, putting a typical wall clock next to Today kind of says it all...
How gorgeous! It'll be interesting to see if people are more inclined to view Today as more of a symbolic, calming work of art rather than a clock itself.
