# Multitasking Timepieces The Dual-Time Clock Knows What Time it is in Two Places By Marissa Liu | Published 2009-12-03 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dual-time-clock References: [design-milk](http://design-milk.com/long-d-dual-time-wall-clock/#more-20834) & [kitmen](http://www.kitmen.com/archives/category/recent_works/) The Dual-Time clock by Kit Men Keung tells the time in two places at once. This [wall clock](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bc17) was made for [Verso Lab](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/verso) a Taiwanese-based brand by the Hong Kong and Taipei-based designer. Since the designer is based in [two different cities](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clockzones) it isn’t difficult to see where the idea for the Dual-Time clock came from. The subtle visual style of the Dual-Time clock clearly depicts time with two stronger hands for one time zone and a lighter, finer third hand that tells the time in another. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.1/10 - Popularity: 12% | Activity: 13% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## 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 - **Dual-time Clocks:** The increasing demand for multitasking timepieces in today's globalized world presents opportunities for designers to create more innovative dual-time clocks. - **Minimalist Design:** The subtle visual style of the Dual-Time clock presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for designers to create more minimalist timepiece designs. - **Customizable Time Zones:** Future dual-time clocks could present an opportunity to offer customizable time zones, allowing consumers to view the time in different locations of their choice. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion and Retail:** The fashion and retail industry can take advantage of the trend for stylish and innovative dual-time clocks that appeal to a globalized and sophisticated consumer market. - **Interior Design:** The interior design industry can leverage the trend for dual-time clocks as functional and decorative pieces that add a touch of sophistication and efficiency to residential and commercial spaces. - **Technology:** The tech industry can explore dual-time clocks as a potential avenue for innovation, such as integrating smart features that sync with mobile devices and provide real-time updates for multiple time zones. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Concentric Timezone Wall Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/analog-wall-clock.md) - [Minimal Global Desk-Side Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/world-clock-1.md) - [Global Timezone Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nik-bentel-studio.md) - [Two-Sided Wall Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/corner-clock.md) - [Intentionally Foggy Clock Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kehai-clock.md) - [Subtle Lifestyle-Changing Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superlocal-clock.md) - [Time-Zone Table Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/timetables-coffee-tables.md) - [Chromatic Quad-Timezone Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wolbrook-pan4timer.md) - [Mechanical Digital Mesmerizing Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triaxial-numechron-clock.md)
