# Scientific Instrument Clocks This Retro Clock Has Twitchy Needles Like a Real Analog Voltmeter By Charlotte Joyce Kidd | Published 2015-11-03 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/analog-voltmeter References: [boingboing.net](http://boingboing.net/2015/11/02/analog-timekeeping-a-clock-bu.html) & [boingboing.net](http://boingboing.net/2015/11/02/analog-timekeeping-a-clock-bu.html) The Model AWK-105 Analog Voltmeter Clock works just like the real thing and will make any room look like a vintage science lab. The Analog Voltmeter Clock has two meters on its face: one counting from 0 to 12 for the hours and the other from 0 to 60 for minutes. It comes in either off-white Industrial Gray or khaki-colored Olive Drab. It offers the option to have the hands remain steady on the exact time, or to change to twitch mode, where the needles waver slightly in order to replicate the movement of a real analog voltmeter. The needles are connected to an ATtiny 44 CPU. The AWK-105 Analog Voltmeter Clock was originally conceived and launched as a [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unique-timekeeping-device) project by design company Awkward Engineer. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 57% | Activity: 42% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% 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) > [Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/home) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Retro Clocks:** Creating vintage-inspired clocks that mimic the look and functionality of analog instruments. - **Analog Aesthetics:** Incorporating analog designs into modern products to create a nostalgic and unique user experience. - **Retro Science Labs:** Reviving the retro look of old science labs through vintage-inspired decor and products. ### Who This Affects Most - **Home Decor:** Designing and producing retro-inspired clocks and other decor items for homes and offices. - **Consumer Electronics:** Incorporating analog elements into modern electronic devices to enhance the user experience. - **Design and Manufacturing:** Creating unique and innovative products that blend the worlds of analog and digital design. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Satisfying Steampunk Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-oddly-satisfying-clock.md) - [Pixelated Flip-Style Wall Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miniot-klapklok.md) - [Elegant Linear Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/linear-clockworks.md) - [Concentric Timezone Wall Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/analog-wall-clock.md) - [Shooting Target Wall Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clockwerk-target-clocks.md) - [Mechanical Digital Mesmerizing Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triaxial-numechron-clock.md) - [Car Instrument Alarm Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reengauge-alarm-clocks.md) - [Unique Timekeeping Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unique-timekeeping-device.md) - [Venn Diagram Wall Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jetlag-clock.md)
