# Ingenious E-Ink Clocks The Twelve24 ClockONE Clock Has a Unique E-Ink Time Display By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2014-06-19 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twelve24 References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/twelve24-clockone-e-ink/32596/) & [twelve24clocks](http://www.twelve24clocks.com/) The Twelve24 ClockONE is the first wall clock that features an E-Ink display. E-Ink is common in eBook readers but this is the first time it has been used in a clock. The Twelve24 ClockONE has a beautiful, elegant design that consists of four over-sized digits similar to the ones seen in [digital wristwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casio-japan). The clock itself is also pretty huge and is one meter wide and 35 cm tall. However it is only 4 mm thick, making it incredibly lightweight at only 3.3 pounds despite taking up a lot of wall-space. The clock is crafted out of milled aluminum with beveled ages, giving it a sleek look and feel. The clock's E-Ink display requires very little power, and can supposedly run on a single CR2450 battery for a whole year. It can be set to display the time in either [12-hour or 24-hour modes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dozen-clock). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.7/10 - Popularity: 97% | Activity: 97% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **E-ink Displays in Electronics:** Expanding the use of E-Ink displays beyond eBook readers to various electronic devices has the potential to improve battery life and reduce energy consumption. - **Oversized Digital Displays:** The demand for beautifully designed oversized digital displays, such as those in the Twelve24 ClockONE, will increase with the growth of smart home products. - **Low-power Electronic Displays:** The development of low-power electronic displays, like E-Ink displays, will be necessary for the continued growth of Internet of Things (IoT) devices. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Consumer Electronics:** Consumer electronics manufacturers can benefit from incorporating E-Ink displays, such as those in the Twelve24 ClockONE, to improve battery life and energy efficiency. - **Smart Home Technology:** Smart home technology companies can incorporate oversized digital displays, like the one in the Twelve24 ClockONE, to provide sleek and functional home decor solutions. - **Internet of Things (iot):** IoT device manufacturers can adopt low-power electronic displays, like E-Ink displays, to improve battery life and prolong device use without requiring frequent charging. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Pixelated Flip-Style Wall Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miniot-klapklok.md) - [Ultra-Thin E-Paper Art Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eink-photo-frame.md) - [Elegant Linear Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/linear-clockworks.md) - [Chromatic E-Ink Picture Frames](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reflection-frame.md) - [Large Poster-Like Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inkposter-duna.md) - [Flowing Light Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crydal-scroll-clock.md) - [Discreet Digital Art Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paperless-paper-7inch-e-ink-frame.md) - [Kinetic Pattern Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moir-clock.md) - [60Hz E-Ink Monitors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dasung-1.md)
