Intention

The idea was to create a functional clock with a face that resembles an old race car wheel. Normally, that means a lot of spokes. Having been a car person for the majority of my life, the relationship between a wheel and a clock didn't take long to come to mind. Because the prompt also mentioned "mid-century inspired," I looked back at Grand Prix Racing cars from the 40s and 50s. I ultimately chose to attempt to mimic the wheel from a 1957 Maserati 250F.
