Life Clock 2
Life Clock 2 by Bertrand Planes

Life Clock is a concept by Bertrand Planes that is marked in sevens up to eighty four, with a mechanism slowed down 61,320 times. Each number represents a year, and a full rotation is made each 84 years (12x7=84). This was the maximum average lifespan in Europe in 2006. The numbers on a Life clock are 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, 63, 70, 77, 0.

Origin

Life clock was originally made by the Bertrand Planes in 2004. The premise of the slowed down mechanism was based on the average lifespan of Europeans, 84 years. The life clock was first shown at "Maison: Temoins" , Paris in 2004.
