OneClock is a minimalist analog clock that gently rouses people with science-based musical compositions instead of jarring alarms. The simple and elegant clock offers a return to a simpler time but with the benefits of Swiss-designed stepper clock movement (technology borrowed from the automotive industry) and an AI music generator. With artificial intelligence, users never hear songs the same way twice.
The design of the clock itself features a machined aluminum enclosure, a solid wood front and back and a low-glare glass face. As Howie Rubin, co-founder and designer of OneClock, says: "We designed OneClock to be as much a piece of art as a functional household tool."
In a 24-hour period, OneClock was successful in raising nearly $250,000 on Kickstarter, going above and beyond the crowdfunding campaign's initial $20,000 goal.
