Never have I considered the moon tell me the time. A proposed sculpture for London's waterfront, the Aluna moon clock is a monumental structure that would reach 40 meters high. It is powered by tides via underwater turbines, and is made out of recycled glass. Absolutely stunning, it tells times via [LED lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-phase-lamp) that gradually illuminate around each ring. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.7/10 - Popularity: 19% | Activity: 25% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Tidal-powered Structures:** Opportunity to explore using tidal energy to power monumental structures, creating eco-friendly solutions. - **Moon-inspired Time-telling:** Opportunity to develop new time-telling devices that incorporate the phases of the moon. - **Recycled Glass Art:** Opportunity to create sustainable art installations by incorporating recycled materials. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Green Energy:** Opportunity for renewable energy companies to partner with architects and designers to create eco-friendly solutions. - **Clock Manufacturing:** Opportunity for clock manufacturers to explore different time-telling possibilities, beyond traditional timepieces. - **Art and Design:** Opportunity for artists and designers to incorporate sustainable materials into their art installations and sculptures. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Floating Marble Cosmic Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mobius-calendar-clock.md) - [Flowing Light Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crydal-scroll-clock.md) - [Tubular Illuminating Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spacetime-blade.md) - [Celestially Inspired Desk Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/astral-desk-clock.md) - [Linearly Formed Wall Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/linear-clock-concept.md) - [Kinetic Pattern Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moir-clock.md) - [Lunar Dust-Infused Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lunar1622.md) - [Unique Timekeeping Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unique-timekeeping-device.md) - [Perforated Metal Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moov-and-coo.md)
