A Fibonacci spiral clock uses a spiral based on the Fibonacci sequence to visually represent the passage of time. The hour hand is a spiral that follows the sequence, moving outwards and around the clock face. The minutes are typically displayed by a standard minute hand, much like a traditional analog clock.

A breakdown of how it works:

• Fibonacci Sequence: The clock utilizes the Fibonacci sequence (1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13...), where each number is the sum of the two preceding numbers.
• Spiral Representation: The spiral arm of the clock is drawn in a way that mirrors the Fibonacci sequence, creating a visually appealing and unique design.
• Hour Display: As the hour hand (the spiral arm) rotates, it progresses through the Fibonacci numbers, representing the hours. Each Fibonacci number corresponds to a specific hour of the day.
• Minute Display: The minutes are typically displayed using a standard minute hand, which rotates around the clock face in the usual way.
• Golden Ratio: The spiral arm of the clock is designed based on the Golden Ratio, which is closely related to the Fibonacci sequence.

Laser cut and engraved from 3mm Basswood Plywood the clock is approximately 26cm in length and treated with wood stain to bring out the beautiful markings on the wood. Complete with wooden hand movements and a silent quartz clock mechanism, powered by one AA battery (Included).
