If an idea is the life of a product story, its design is the oxygen to keep it alive. Design however doesn’t have to always reinvent the wheel to visualize an idea; it can sometimes just draw inspiration and reimagine the familiar with a new breath of air. The Modern-day Vintage Alarm Clock & Wristwatch combo by a young designer on Behance is an embodiment of this.
It is a beautiful blend of nostalgia with modernity that would strike a chord with minimalists and vintage lovers alike. The and alarm clock concept envisioned with the inspiration of what’s existed in the past, isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about telling that vintage tale with new characterization and symbolism. Through the idea of these analog timepieces, the designer draws us to appreciate the past and embrace the innovative simplicity that forms the mainstay of her work.
Designer: The clean lines and the smooth finish of the cases – of both the watch and the – are instant enticers, but the charm lies in their dials. The center of the dial is minimalist, it features four strokes marking the 12, 3, 6, and 9 o’clock positions. This unembellished center amplifies the retro aesthetic while the timepieces scale up to modernism high with a labyrinth-style periphery of the center.
This labyrinth-style dial layout with two colored balls acting as hour and minute indicators of an analog timepiece is a playful way of telling the time. Idealistically, the balls glide along the labyrinth paths to represent.
