# Unorthodox Rotating Clocks The 'Reverse' Clock Takes a Different Approach to Keeping Time By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2018-05-02 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reverse-clock References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2018/05/02/disconnected-design/) The basic design of the traditional clock features two or three arms that work together to display time in a rather uniform fashion, but the conceptual 'Reverse' Clock takes things in a different direction for users to enjoy. Featuring one freestanding hand and another integrated into the [rotating outer ring](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-timechanger), the clock uses the interior hand for minutes and the exterior one for hours. This creates an unorthodox aesthetic that is sure to be admired by those who are looking for a different way to keep time, while also putting a [minimalistic design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimalist-flip-clock) front and center in your home or office. The conceptual 'Reverse' Clock is the design work of Mattice Boets and speaks to the increasing desire for artistic approaches to [everyday products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-desk-clock). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.4/10 - Popularity: 79% | Activity: 75% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Artistic Clocks:** Designing unorthodox clocks with artistic approaches to everyday products. - **Minimalistic Timekeepers:** Creating minimalistic clocks with unique timekeeping features. - **Unconventional Time Display:** Developing clocks with unconventional time display for a distinctive user experience. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Home Decor:** Creating artistic and minimalistic clocks for elegant home decor. - **Office Supplies:** Developing unconventional clocks for modern office spaces. - **Consumer Electronics:** Innovating unorthodox and minimalistic clocks for the consumer electronics market. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Two-Sided Wall Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/corner-clock.md) - [Alternative Time Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dozen-clock.md) - [Orbital Timepiece Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/radius-clock.md) - [Minimal Sculptural Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trace-line.md) - [Intentionally Foggy Clock Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kehai-clock.md) - [Mechanical Digital Mesmerizing Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triaxial-numechron-clock.md) - [Kinetic Pattern Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moir-clock.md) - [Half-Hour Timepiece Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arrowatch.md) - [Linearly Formed Wall Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/linear-clock-concept.md)
