# Multi-Facing Timepieces The About Face Clock by MOTATOE Turns in Any Direction By Cody Turner | Published 2012-09-15 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/about-face-clock References: [kickstarter](http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/658677510/aboutfaceclock-hangs-on-a-wall-corner-or-ceiling?ref=category) & [motatoedesign](http://motatoedesign.com) Mark Ejnes of MOTATOE has been working on the About Face Clock that allows the clock to [hang on walls, corners or ceilings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triarch) due to its creative design. The clocks can be made out of either a powder coated metal or on printed cardboard. The cardboard designs allow for a number of great [customizable designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/houracle) depending on your style. Not only can you decide on the style of the About Face Clock, but you get to decide which direction the clock faces. The "puck+hanger" mounting bracket allows you to place the clock on any surface and face it in the direction you will see it the most. Or, choose to place the clock on a [desk or shelf](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-desk-clock) and it will stand on its own. I really like that this clock is so versatile in not only its appearance, but also the way in which you can interact with it. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 53% | Activity: 22% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Customizable Timepieces:** Creating timepieces with customizable designs to cater to individual styles and preferences. - **Versatile Clock Mounting:** Innovating clock designs with flexible mounting options that allow for placement on walls, corners, ceilings, desks, or shelves. - **Interactive Clock Experiences:** Designing clocks that provide unique interactive experiences through the ability to change the direction of the clock face. ### Who This Affects Most - **Home Decor:** Providing opportunities for disrupting the home decor industry by offering customizable timepieces and versatile clock mounting options. - **Interior Design:** Introducing new clock designs and mounting features that can enhance the overall aesthetic of interior spaces. - **Giftware:** Creating innovative clock designs that can be personalized and customized to make unique and memorable gifts. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Concentric Timezone Wall Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/analog-wall-clock.md) - [Venn Diagram Wall Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jetlag-clock.md) - [Dynamic Shadow Wall Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/textural-wall-clock.md) - [Subtle Lifestyle-Changing Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superlocal-clock.md) - [Kinetic Pattern Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moir-clock.md) - [Minimal Global Desk-Side Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/world-clock-1.md) - [Perforated Metal Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moov-and-coo.md) - [Security Camera Multifunctional Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swap-clock.md) - [Mechanical Digital Mesmerizing Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triaxial-numechron-clock.md)
