# Magnified Metronomes The Little Time Clock by Rafael Morgan By Meghan Young | Published 2010-03-23 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/little-time-clock References: [core77](http://www.core77.com/blog/object_culture/this_just_inbox_little_time_a_clock_with_magnifiers_for_hands_16212.asp) & [rafaelmorgan](http://www.rafaelmorgan.com/) I think that if I ever want to try my hand at design, I will start with timepieces because there seems to be no end to the amazing creations achieved with this one device like the 'Little Time' clock, for instance. A simple analog clock, it features teeny-tiny numbers that are magnified when the hands reach it to tell the time. Designed by Rafael Morgan, the Little Time clock is probably one of my favorite designs -- and that's saying a lot considering the amount of interesting clocks I've written about. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 4% | Activity: 31% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - 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 - **Magnified-numbers:** Opportunity for innovative designs that utilize magnified numbers to enhance visual appeal and readability in various products. - **Analog-revival:** Potential for the resurgence of analog devices and timepieces that incorporate traditional design elements with a modern twist. - **Micro-designs:** Emerging trend of creating compact and intricate designs that maximize functionality and aesthetic appeal in everyday objects. ### Who This Affects Most - **Consumer-electronics:** Opportunity for manufacturers to develop consumer electronics that incorporate magnified numbers for improved visibility and aesthetics. - **Home-decor:** Potential for home decor companies to create analog clocks and other products that feature magnified numbers as a unique selling point. - **Watchmaking:** Trend of watchmakers designing analog timepieces with magnified numbers to cater to the demand for distinctive and visually appealing watches. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Unique Timekeeping Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unique-timekeeping-device.md) - [Kinetic Pattern Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moir-clock.md) - [Minimal Sculptural Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trace-line.md) - [Intentionally Foggy Clock Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kehai-clock.md) - [Minimal Dynamic Desk Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-desk-clock.md) - [Orbital Timepiece Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/radius-clock.md) - [Minimal Global Desk-Side Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/world-clock-1.md) - [Linearly Formed Wall Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/linear-clock-concept.md) - [Surrealist-Inspired Clock Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salvador-clock.md)
