PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a clock that does not leak light to other division regions when display objects such as traditional artifacts that do not let light pass through are provided in an area divided into twelve division regions, and that gives three-dimensional shaped articles a three-dimensional appearance when the three-dimensional shaped articles are provided in the division regions.SOLUTION: A clock 1 that displays time with hands including a minute hand and an hour hand is provided with a display region 5 outside of a hand rotation unit for rotating the minute and hour hands via a boundary wall 4. Division regions 53 are provided by dividing the display region 5 into twelve sections corresponding to hours, and light is radiated to a display object 8, i.e. a traditional artifact from a lateral side of a division region 53 with a light source 6. The light is prevented from leaking to adjacent division regions 53 by using side walls 51 provided at both sides of the division region 53.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】光不透過性を有する伝統工芸品などの表示物を１２分割された区画領域に設ける場合、他の区画領域に光を漏洩させないようにするとともに、その区画領域に立体的造形物を設ける場合に、その立体的造形物に立体感を持たせるようにした時計を提供する。【解決手段】長針と短針からなる針によって時刻を表示する時計１において、長針と短針を回転させる針回転部の外側に、境界壁４を介して展示領域部５を設ける。そして、その展示領域部５を時刻に対応して１２分割した区画領域５３を設け、その区画領域５３の側方から光源６を介して、伝統工芸品である表示物８に光を照射させる。そして、その光を、区画領域５３の両側に設けられた側壁５１を用いて隣接する区画領域５３に漏洩させないようにする。【選択図】図１
