The Moon Shine Clock Wanes and Waxes with the Hour

— October 14, 2011 — Art & Design
By now, the image of the classic analogue wall clock is more than a little predictable, which makes concepts like the Moon Shine Clock all the more intriguing. What's more is that besides a compelling appearance, this Yong-min Lee invention is so much more than a timekeeper.

What we've got is a small horizontal track with a digital dial fixed to the right hand side. The hour and minute are displayed numerically in the center of the face and surrounded in a quadrant-marked perimeter. A tiny dot circles the outlining orbit, indicating the specifications of the integrated timer. To switch on the Moon Shine Clock, the user simply slides the bright yellow OLED circle to the left side of the track, which gradually travels in behind the dark eclipse, dimming its light and demonstrating the phases of the moon.
Trend Themes
1. Digital Time Display - The Moon Shine Clock's innovative digital display offers a fresh take on traditional analogue wall clocks.
2. Integrated Timer - The inclusion of an integrated timer in the Moon Shine Clock adds functionality and convenience for users.
3. Phases of the Moon - The Moon Shine Clock's ability to demonstrate the phases of the moon introduces a unique and engaging feature.
Industry Implications
1. Home Decor - The Moon Shine Clock presents disruptive innovation opportunities in the home decor industry by reimagining traditional wall clocks with its digital display and moon phase feature.
2. Consumer Electronics - The inclusion of an integrated timer in the Moon Shine Clock presents disruptive innovation opportunities in the consumer electronics industry, catering to users who value both timekeeping and convenience.
3. Gifts and Novelties - The Moon Shine Clock's unique design and ability to display the phases of the moon make it a potential disruptive innovation in the gifts and novelties industry, offering a distinctive and memorable gift option.
