Mirror hours: what matching times mean

You glance at your phone and it says 21:21. Or 11:11. Or 22:22. In the Balkans they call it ljubavni sat, the love clock, and folk belief says a matching time is no accident: someone is thinking of you right then. For every mirror hour we wrote a short reading and messages to send to whoever came to mind first, because a mirror hour is the perfect excuse to get in touch.

How to read a mirror hour

  1. Hours and minutes match

    A mirror hour is a moment when the hours and minutes are the same number, like 08:08 or 21:21. There are 24 of them a day.

  2. Reversed hours exist too

    Some people also watch reversed hours, like 12:21 or 15:51, and read them as someone from the past coming back.

  3. Overlapping hands

    On a clock with hands, people speak of the hands overlapping. That's said to be a sign someone is talking about you too.
