Seoul-based brand [Lost Management Cities](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lmc-1), also known as LMC introduces its new Essential Goods collection featuring fice items in total. It is highlighted by the BC03 classic analog clocks followed by the signature [BC17](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bc17) wall clocks that are made with the help of [Braun](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/braun-x-neighborhood-clock-collection).

The alarm clocks are minimally designed with the branded LMC logo printed on the exterior glass. The wall clocks also follow the same minimal look with a subtle logo seen at the 6 o'clock touch. Additional offerings that follow the timepieces include a throw blanket with jacquard details that are designed with rustic graphics of home interiors as well as broken electronics, quilted oven gloves, and soy wax candles that are Aventus-scented.
