Minimalist Glowing Timepieces

Zach Smith's Evanescent Clock is Futuristically Slender

I find that timepieces are very similar to paper in that they are extremely necessary to have around anymore and yet they still serve an important purpose; keeping this in mind, it's not surprising, then, that time-tellers like the Evanescent clock are popping up more and more. Instead of just telling the time, clocks have to be more of an art piece now as well.

Designed by Zach Smith, the Evanescent clock features a very slender design that happens to look very sci-fi-inspired, especially when it emits that bluish glow in the dark. The Evanescent clock also offers both visual and audible cues that are inputed through an inconspicuous USB port.

Made out of aluminum and plastic, the Evanescent clock offers a sleek, uncluttered look for your home.
