I designed and made this backwards wall clock  to give to my grandson Ethan for his birthday next month. 

I purchased the clockworks from a company in England that makes such a mechanism for clocks that work by projecting a mirror image.  I very much doubt that this mechanism was intended to be utilized as I have done.   Should a demand arise, I have enough supplies to make three more clocks.  I've decided that I like it enough that one of these clocks will be for me.

I cut the clock face from two 6mm thick layers of Baltic Birch plywood and used paint from a bunch of different cans in my shop in order to come up with 12 different colours with sufficient contrast.

My wife had one similar in her house when we were teenagers and dating.  Her Dad would tell me to have her home by a certain time, we were always late.. I blamed it on the clock!

This would be perfect to hang in the bathroom on the wall opposite the mirror.  That way you can quickly check the time while shaving.  I like it!

Following up on your suggestion, I took a photo to show how the clock does look in a mirror.
