# Dystopian Film Smartwatch Designs The Lifeclock One is Inspired by the Fictional Film Wearable By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2016-11-04 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smartwatch-design References: [geeky-gadgets](http://www.geeky-gadgets.com/lifeclock-one-smartwatch-inspired-by-escape-from-new-york-04-11-2016/) & [kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jonathanzufi/lifeclock-one-the-escape-from-new-york-inspired-sm) Anyone who has seen the classic film *Escape from New York* will recognize the smartwatch design of the Lifeclock One. Funding now on [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/space-invaders-my-play-watch), the Lifeclock One mimics the design aesthetic of the main character in the film, Snake Plissken's, countdown watch. While the design of the Lifeclock One from the film was a countdown watch that informed the main character of how much time he had left before poison was injected into his body, this reboot device is created a little differently. The Lifeclock One provides users with access to time, eight world clocks, the date, push notifications, app notifications, the weather and much more. The Lifeclock One smartwatch design celebrates the John Carpenter film and offers film fanatics an ultra-modern yet retro way to stay connected. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.3/10 - Popularity: 65% | Activity: 86% | 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) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Retro-inspired Smartwatch Designs:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create smartwatches that combine nostalgic aesthetics with modern functionalities. - **Film-inspired Wearable Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop wearable devices that pay homage to iconic movies while providing practical features. - **Functional Fashion Accessories:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Merge fashion and functionality by designing accessories that serve a specific purpose in addition to their aesthetic appeal. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Consumer Electronics:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Revolutionize the smartwatch market by introducing unique and eye-catching designs. - **Film and Entertainment:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with filmmakers to create wearable technology inspired by popular movies, fostering deeper fan engagement. - **Fashion and Accessories:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the intersection of fashion and technology by developing stylish wearable devices with advanced functionalities. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Rad Retro-Style Smartwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retrofuture-wrist-tech.md) - [Retro-Futurism Smartwatch Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/justwatch.md) - [Retro Gaming Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/space-invaders-my-play-watch.md) - [Superhero-Inspired Wristwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deadpool-and-wolverine-1.md) - [Nostalgic Space Exploration Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dsky-moonwatch.md) - [Retro Calculator Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ca500webf.md) - [Collaboration Film-Inspired Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zodiac-x-rowing-blazers-watch.md) - [Multiple Dice-Inspired Digital Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/d20-digital-watch.md) - [Nostalgic Gaming Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retro-gaming-watch.md)
