The small and the big hands of the ‹11 o’clock› meet twenty-two times a day.
The red dots on the watch mark these moments. They are the right time to meet.

The temporal distance between two dots is
1 hour 5 minutes 27 seconds.

The geometric distance is
32.72727272 degrees

The ‹11 o’clock› divides the day into 22 hours. Each hour consists of 65 minutes.

The day has two hours less. The remaining hours are correspondingly longer.

The meeting of the hands prompted Zurich-based inventor Toni Hintermann to develop the ‹11 o’clock›.
His vision became reality through his cooperation with a.b.art.
