Having just moved to a new small apartment in Oslo, I have rediscovered my interest for details and cool interior object to make the place more like home.

I just came over this really cool watch (that I bought right away) which is really cool – designwise. It’s called Qlocktwo – and is a clock that shows the time in typography. It comes in 5 different colors and in 6 languages, and the price? Ehrm… EUR 885 (inkl. 19% German V.A.T.)
