# Surrealist Cuckoo Clocks The Cuckoo x Tree Clock Features a Modern Abstract Aesthetic By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2015-10-29 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cuckoo-x-tree-clock References: [fancy](https://fancy.com/things/975666633601192521/Cuckoo-X-Tree-Clock?utm=timeline_featured) & [fancy](http://fancy.com) The Cuckoo x Tree Clock is a modern take on the [traditional cuckoo clock](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moov-and-coo) that has been proudly displayed on the walls of homes for decades. Taking this aesthetic and giving it an [abstract overhaul](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trace-line), the Cuckoo x Tree Clock is designed to look like a roughly chopped log that has been fashioned with a clock. Rather than having the cuckoo pop out of the front on the hour, the Cuckoo x Tree Clock instead has the figurine pop out of the side. The finishing touch on the Cuckoo x Tree Clock is the additional bird figurine that accompanies it; it's meant to be affixed next to the clock to create something of a [woodland scene](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clock-house) when the cuckoo within the clock pops out. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.8/10 - Popularity: 90% | Activity: 75% | 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 - **Modern Cuckoo Clocks:** Opportunity to create modern interpretations of traditional designs. - **Abstract Decor:** Opportunity to create decorative pieces that challenge classic design norms. - **Woodland Themes:** Opportunity to create decor that brings nature indoors. ### Who This Affects Most - **Home Decor:** Opportunity for home decor companies to create innovative and modern designs. - **Interior Design:** Opportunity for interior design companies to offer unique decor options for clients. - **Giftware:** Opportunity for giftware companies to offer unconventional, abstract gifts. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Surrealist-Inspired Clock Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salvador-clock.md) - [Two-Sided Wall Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/corner-clock.md) - [Tranquil Asymmetrical Wall Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooj-design-masuno-clock.md) - [Minimal Dynamic Desk Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-desk-clock.md) - [Concentric Timezone Wall Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/analog-wall-clock.md) - [Reimagined Modern Pendulum Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heng-alarm.md) - [Connected Toy-Like Alarm Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cubb-alarm-clock.md) - [Elegant Linear Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/linear-clockworks.md) - [Minimal Sculptural Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trace-line.md)
