Wind-Up Adult Toys

This Luxury Adult Toy is Modeled After the Design of a Grandfather Clock

— October 26, 2015 — Naughty
The idea behind the 'Grandfather Clock Dildo' by designer Bastiaan Buijs was to create a luxury adult toy for women that they would want to put on display in their home.

This refined intimacy device is made from a hand blown glass vessel that exposes an arrangement of brass and metal mechanisms inside of the vibrator. A wind-up key at the ebony wood base of the device causes the internal mechanism to move back and forth, causing the tube to vibrate for four to five minutes at a time.

This luxury adult toy was specifically designed to be both luxurious and expensive to appeal to a high-end clientele. It also comes with a lifetime warranty. By creating this vibrator, Buijs states he hopes to end any stigma or shame associated with female self-pleasure.
Trend Themes
1. Luxury Adult Toys - The market for high-end adult toys is growing, providing opportunities for innovative and unique designs such as wind-up mechanisms.
2. Visible Intimacy Devices - Intimacy devices that are designed to be aesthetically pleasing and on display are becoming more popular, allowing for inventive and creative designs.
3. Ending Stigma Surrounding Female Pleasure - Creating products that promote and celebrate female self-pleasure can lead to new markets and untapped customer bases.
Industry Implications
1. Adult Entertainment - Wind-up mechanisms, unique design aesthetics, and a focus on luxurious products can disrupt the adult entertainment industry by appealing to a niche, high-end market.
2. Luxury Goods - The trend of designing aesthetically pleasing and expensive intimacy devices opens up opportunities for luxury goods companies to expand their product lines.
3. Gender Equality and Empowerment - By creating products that focus on celebrating female self-pleasure, businesses can tap into the growing market of consumers who prioritize gender equality and empowerment.
