What makes the KinderClock so different?

• Its first hour of the day starts with the Ist hour after sunrise (not in the middle of the night), and concludes at sunset. And its first hour of the night begins with the Ist hour after sunset and concludes at the beginning of the next day's sunrise. For a comparison, see National Institute for Standards and Technology (Frequently Asked Questions about the confusion caused by conventional timekeeping, such as the use of the term "Midnight"!)
• The lengths of its day and night "natural hours" vary throughout the year. This reflects the ignored by conventional clocks and watches fact (because it's inconvenient "mechanically" to them) that winters have shorter days, and summers have shorter nights. If you're asking, "So what?" read about the effects of daylight saving time. Also read about circadian rhythms.
• It shows the passage of your time of day and time of night (localized and personalized to your own specific latitude and longitude) as they ought to be seen and experienced by your mind and your body. Not averages of standardized time zones.
• See the research of Dr. Ladislav Volicer, http://ajp.psychiatryonline.org/cgi/content/abstract/158/5/704, for just a sample of how important natural time really is to us, and what happens when we become isolated from it due to disease, or "merely" the imposition of artificial "corporate standard time" on our consciousnesses at the expense of the rest of the whole picture of time. Also see this to learn how and why Michelangelo thought of natural time as "God's time".
• Based on much recent medical research in many areas about the relationship of natural time to biological functions, our KinderClock's uniquely holistic method of informing your mind and your body of the passage of natural time could soon become very important in your life. Not just people suffering from ICU psychosis, Alzheimer's, SAD, ADHD need to know their "natural time in real-time". Just about anyone forced to live and work in ways physically and/or emotionally isolated from natural timekeeping find our Kinderclock a "god-send".
• It's architecture is simple, but not oversimplified -- and as such seeks to be as much as possible in accord with the most rigorous standards of scientific advice: "It can scarcely be denied that the supreme goal of all theory is to make the irreducible basic elements as simple and as few as possible without having to surrender the adequate representation of a single datum of experience." -- Albert Einstein
• Although the Kinderclock's patent-pending technology contains the complexities of an astronomical clock, it's elegance enables even a child to use it. Both figuratively and literally, the KinderClock is "time for your 'inner child'!"
• Even though its users are beginning to buzz about it, you can still be one of the first in the whole world to help spread the word!
