One end of the device is the speaker, while the other end features an elegant golden set of hands moving around a numberless watch face. The design takes inspiration from traditional Tube Clocks in both the aesthetic as well as the materials used, ranging from copper to steel. The sound system offers a [vintage look](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/d32) that is divergent from most modern [wireless speaker systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orgdot-n200). The speaker looks like an analogue Tube Clock with a rounded metallic exterior that sits elevated on four legs. Despite the device appearing analogue, it can be connected to smartphone and tablet devices to stream music wirelessly, while also keeping track of the time. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 40% | Activity: 40% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Vintage-inspired Audio Systems:** Creating audio systems with a retro aesthetic that appeals to consumers looking for a blend of style and functionality. - **Multipurpose Devices:** Designing products that serve more than one function, offering convenience and space-saving solutions for consumers. - **Wireless Connectivity Integration:** Integrating wireless connectivity into traditionally analog objects to provide modern convenience. ### Where This Applies - **Audio Equipment:** Capitalizing on the demand for vintage-inspired audio systems that combine style and functionality. - **Home Decor:** Creating multipurpose products that can serve as both decorative and functional elements in interior design. - **Consumer Electronics:** Exploring opportunities to integrate wireless connectivity into traditional analog objects, enhancing their functionality. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sleek Visual Bluetooth Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tivoli-audio-boutique.md) - [Modernized Retro Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-memory.md) - [Tubular Note-Shaped Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/premium-audio-device.md) - [Stylish Low-Tech Sound Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frame-sound.md) - [Retro-Style Tabletop Speaker](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nattbadd-bluetooth.md) - [Minimalist Metallic Speaker Units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/suono-bluetooth-speaker.md) - [Mood-Setting Speaker Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-bluetooth-speaker-with-light.md) - [Wine Bottle-Resembling Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dream-echo.md) - [Geometric Two-Part Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/conceptual-bluetooth-speaker-design.md)
