# Abstract Analog Chronometers Perspective Clocks Show the Hour in Mesmerizing Moving Illustrations By Amelia Roblin | Published 2013-12-13 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/perspective-clocks References: [mocoloco](http://mocoloco.com/fresh2/2013/12/12/perspective-clocks-by-studio-ve.php) & [kickstarter](http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/manifoldclock/perspective-clocks) What you're picturing as a standard [analogue clock](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-desk-clock) is probably quite dull, but this collection of Perspective Clocks is anything but boring. As you observe the way that they gradually change, minutes will turn into hours and you may find that time has actually sped up. [Studio Ve's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/postmodern-cone-watch) five chronographs all have one basic physical feature in common, and that is their black circular bases. They also have contrasting white hands, but these have all been executed quite differently. Intended to represent the various ways in which people perceive the passage of time, the [wall clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cast-concept) produce illusory patterns as they tick around. Empty shapes in one-point perspective, shifting chevrons and crisscrossing rays that escape from two nodes make up the mesmerizing Perspective Clocks. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.2/10 - Popularity: 5% | Activity: 23% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Abstract Analog Chronometers:** Exploring the potential for abstract designs in analog clocks to create visually captivating timepieces. - **Mesmerizing Moving Illustrations:** Incorporating dynamic and changing visuals into timepieces to create a captivating and engaging user experience. - **Perceived Passage of Time:** Designing clocks that visually represent different perceptions of time to provoke contemplation and reflection. ### Where This Applies - **Interior Design:** Using abstract analog chronometers as unique and visually striking decorative elements in interior spaces. - **Retail and Fashion:** Introducing mesmerizing moving illustrations on analog watches to create distinctive and trendy timepieces for consumers. - **Art and Design:** Exploring the concept of perceived passage of time in artistic installations and sculpture, pushing the boundaries of traditional clock design. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Concentric Timezone Wall Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/analog-wall-clock.md) - [Minimal Sculptural Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trace-line.md) - [Linearly Formed Wall Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/linear-clock-concept.md) - [Intentionally Foggy Clock Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kehai-clock.md) - [Dynamic Shadow Wall Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/textural-wall-clock.md) - [Perforated Metal Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moov-and-coo.md) - [Alternative Time Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dozen-clock.md) - [Mechanical Digital Mesmerizing Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triaxial-numechron-clock.md) - [Flowing Light Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crydal-scroll-clock.md)
