# Post-Modern Magnetized Clocks The Magnetic Clock Blackhole Spins Balls to Display the Time By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2017-10-06 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magnetic-clock-blackhole References: [tuvie](http://www.tuvie.com/magnetic-clock-blackhole-displays-time-with-three-little-metal-balls/) & [facebook](https://www.facebook.com/bozastudio) The Magnetic Clock Blackhole is the design work of Josselin Zaigouche and boasts a [post-modern design aesthetic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/postmodern-cone-watch) that is intended to provide a more artistic manner to tell the time. Coming in white and black color options, the clock does away with [traditional arms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dozen-clock) in favor of metallic balls that are each held in place magnetically to display the time in an unorthodox way. This creates a work of art that will subtly keep you informed of what time of day it actually is. The Magnetic Clock Blackhole identifies how traditional items for the home are being given an ultra-modern overhaul to satisfy growing consumer preferences for artistic styling even in ordinary items. The clock can be placed on a surface or hung on a wall to suit individual preferences. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 46% | Activity: 43% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Artistic Home Design:** Traditional home items are being redesigned with an artistic flair to cater to consumer preferences for aesthetic appeal. - **Unorthodox Time Display:** Innovative timepieces are utilizing unconventional methods to display the time, such as using magnetically held balls instead of traditional clock arms. - **Post-modern Aesthetics:** Designs with a post-modern aesthetic are gaining popularity in the consumer market, drawing attention to unique and unconventional visual styles. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Home Decor:** The home decor industry can explore new opportunities by incorporating artistic elements into traditional household items like clocks. - **Consumer Electronics:** Innovations in time display methods present opportunities for the consumer electronics industry to create unique and visually appealing gadgets. - **Art and Design:** The art and design industry can capitalize on the demand for post-modern aesthetics by creating products that offer a fusion of functionality and artistic expression. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sleek Magnetic Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triarch.md) - [Floating Marble Cosmic Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mobius-calendar-clock.md) - [Kinetic Pattern Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moir-clock.md) - [Minimal Sculptural Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trace-line.md) - [Orbital Timepiece Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/radius-clock.md) - [Dynamic Shadow Wall Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/textural-wall-clock.md) - [Concentric Timezone Wall Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/analog-wall-clock.md) - [Celestially Inspired Desk Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/astral-desk-clock.md) - [Perforated Metal Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moov-and-coo.md)
