# Minimalist Wall Clocks The 'Freakish Clock' Only Focuses on One Single Hour at a Time By David Ingram | Published 2015-10-28 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimalist-wall References: [ahalife](http://www.ahalife.com/product/149000008782/freakish-clock?ir=/&mt=pr&pt=hp&us=0&src=s&lf=179-0_0&mp=6&ip=8&is=or) This minimalist wall clock by industrial designer Sabrina Fossi takes a stripped-back approach to telling the time of the day. Made in Italy, the 'Freakish Clock' is a battery-powered wall clock meant to actually simplify the very concept of time itself. The top layer of the clock is actually a spinning disc, and where this minimalist wall clock stands out is that it actually only displays one hour at any given time. The spinning disc only unveils the current hour of the day, so you don't need to envision what might come later but instead focus on what's happening in the present. Made from a combination of plastic and aluminium, this wall-mounted clock also comes in a variety of colors including black, green, yellow and lilac. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.5/10 - Popularity: 88% | Activity: 69% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, 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 - **Minimalist Wall Clocks:** Designing minimalist wall clocks that focus on displaying one single hour at a time. - **Simplifying Time:** Creating clocks that strip back the traditional concept of time and only display the current hour. - **Innovative Timepieces:** Developing battery-powered wall clocks with spinning discs that unveil the current hour of the day. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Design:** Opportunity for designers to create minimalist wall clocks that redefine how time is displayed. - **Home Decor:** Disruption opportunity for the home decor industry by introducing minimalist wall clocks that simplify the concept of time. - **Manufacturing:** Potential for manufacturers to produce innovative wall-mounted clocks made from plastic and aluminium that only display one hour at a time. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Minimal Sculptural Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trace-line.md) - [Concentric Timezone Wall Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/analog-wall-clock.md) - [Linearly Formed Wall Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/linear-clock-concept.md) - [Half-Hour Timepiece Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arrowatch.md) - [Minimal Global Desk-Side Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/world-clock-1.md) - [Barebones Retro-Inspired Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cloudnola-flip-clock.md) - [Two-Sided Wall Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/corner-clock.md) - [Tranquil Asymmetrical Wall Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooj-design-masuno-clock.md) - [Pixelated Flip-Style Wall Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miniot-klapklok.md)
