If you are looking for a cute, almost hipster timepiece for the home or just your room, then the Icon Clock is just for you. A chunky and [minimalist chronograph](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trace-line), it will really work for just about anyone who appreciates modern design. This clock is a great accent piece.

Brought to you by [Poketo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/big-wall-calendar), the Icon Clock is available in two colors: black and white. It was inspired by the power button on computers and [pixelated dot clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taoclock).

Priced at an affordable $37, the Icon Clock can be hung on a wall or rested on a table top. Fun, playful and very simple, I can also see it working for just about any age group.
