Hello everybody,
This is what I have just completed puzzle, I think it should be called the Time machine II, with SmaZ's, Time machine is a brother. Because it made some bound, limit the number of the direction of rotation, to solve more difficult. Hope you like, thank you!
A J

Looks very nice! Is the inner part a bandaged 2x2x2 cube?
Maybe 12 is really 11:30, 1 is really 12:30, 2 is really 1:30, etc. 
Where is Time machine (I)? |

Ah maarten, I've resolved myself to the fact that I'll never make it that far north during October while I remain in education. I will never be allowed to take the time off teaching for it.
Unless of course you turn it into some type of linguistic conference and you ask me to talk....which I am very good at!

This looks very similar concept to the Vergo's Cube, a 2x2x2 with beads inside it. Only you have made it many times the challenge by locking in the order of the pieces. Also, you have bandaged it to perform as the simple 2x2x1 puzzle. I don't see how the bandaging makes it more difficult, but I like how it puts the emphasis on solving the numbers, not just a 2x2x2 cube. Awesome regardless. The faces kinda remind me of puck puzzles! DO WANT!!!

Ok, I'll look for a linguistic happening and drag you here. Otherwise you'll have to do with The Photos and The envy |

It appears the colored numbers are either printed or "baked" into the plastic. They will show up much better on white plastic than black.

Have you considered bandaging/fusing some of the "clock" pieces together, in Square 1 (or other) style?  This might make it even more challenging.

I doubt that: look at the first picture which is all white. (Maybe transparent stickers with colored numbers?) |

Yes. you are right. I use this method to solve. easy to handle around four sides, mainly the up and down sides, is when I solve it as a squre-1.

That one has been made before by Olivier Polspoel

Thanks, I hadn't seen that before. I guess it is slightly different in that the core is a regular (unbandaged) 2x2x2 cube, but the Square-1 style for the outer pieces is as I suggested. Perhaps the "or other style" is still a "new" idea! |
