# Car-Inspired Clocks This Audi Clock Embodies the Aesthetics and Tech of the Vehicle Brand's Design By Amelia Roblin | Published 2015-09-08 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audi-clock References: [tuvie](http://www.tuvie.com/audi-time-piece-is-not-your-ordinary-grandfather-clock/) & [behance.net](https://www.behance.net/gallery/24044405/Audi-Time-Piece) At the 2014 [Audi](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/model-a7l) Design Challenge in Seoul, Korea, this Audi clock was a winner. Conceived by Pilkwon Jung and Jaehyuk Lee, the [futuristic-looking wall clock](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trace-line) was created with direct inspiration from the design of the company's automobiles, "mirroring Audi’s delicate details and its technical philosophy." The Audi Timepiece has a face that resembles elements of a car's dashboard, such as the speedometer and adjacent dials and scales. The suspending pendulum is a single circle, seemingly pulled from the four-ringed logo of the brand. It fixes to a wall, yet it's also supported by a trombone-like U bar that touches the floor, giving it the form of a contemporary grandfather clock. Between [polished metal material](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moov-and-coo) and the illuminating points that indicate the hour, the Audi clock serves as an example and an opportunity for companies to manufacture outside of their specialty. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 76% | Activity: 63% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen X - Top markets: Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Automotive-inspired Design:** Companies can explore creating products that incorporate the aesthetic and technical elements of automobiles, similar to the Audi clock. - **Cross-industry Collaboration:** Collaborations between automotive brands and other industries can result in innovative and unique products, as seen with the Audi clock. - **Functional Artwork:** The combination of functionality and artistic design, as demonstrated by the Audi clock, presents opportunities for creating captivating and practical products. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Home Decor:** Home decor companies can explore the fusion of automotive design elements into their clocks and other decorative items, offering unique and visually appealing products. - **Automotive Accessories:** Automotive accessory manufacturers can consider incorporating clock features inspired by car designs to enhance the interior aesthetics of vehicles. - **Luxury Goods:** Luxury brands can create exclusive limited-edition clocks that fuse high-end materials, precise engineering, and automotive design elements, appealing to sophisticated customers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Celestially Inspired Desk Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/astral-desk-clock.md) - [Concentric Timezone Wall Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/analog-wall-clock.md) - [Surrealist-Inspired Clock Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salvador-clock.md) - [Mechanical Digital Mesmerizing Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triaxial-numechron-clock.md) - [Collaborative Wall Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bc17.md) - [Diamond-Encrusted Car Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/race-car-clock.md) - [Tranquil Asymmetrical Wall Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooj-design-masuno-clock.md) - [Reimagined Modern Pendulum Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heng-alarm.md) - [Tubular Illuminating Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spacetime-blade.md)
