The clock and logo graphics are only about 1/1000 of an inch above the face of the crystal. What you are seeing is part of the back and sides of the crystal, which change as you change your viewpoint. The crystal is fairly thick, and you are seeing the sides appear to move right or left as you view them through the transparent face. Also, the crystal is tilted back to catch some lightplay, which causes anything on the face to get skewed when viewed from far right or left. At first, I had embedded the graphics deep within the crystal, but the murky look was not pleasing.
