# Squishy Time-Tellers The Touchy-Feely Vague Clock is Pressed for Time By Summer Luu | Published 2011-03-08 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vague-clock References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2011/03/07/time-is-a-fuzzball/) & [red-dot.sg](http://www.red-dot.sg/concept/index.htm) Designed by Sejoon Kim, the Vague Clock understands the [stress levels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/novellamate) people go under, especially when it comes to time. For busy, around-the-clock working people, there is never enough time during the day to finish all their tasks. That's why this [time-teller](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taoclock) helps to de-stress people who are constantly looking at the clock, feeling the pressure with every second that goes by. People who are usually pressed for time will definitely have to *press* for the Vague Clock's time. The design forces the user to touch the [abstract hours](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moir-clock) because just looking at the face won't tell the time. The Vague Clock is a way to distract anxious ones and loosen them up, even if it's just for a second of the day. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 32% | Activity: 68% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **De-stressing Time-tellers:** This trend focuses on creating time-telling devices that help reduce stress and anxiety associated with time management. - **Interactive Timepieces:** This trend emphasizes clock designs that require user interaction for accurate time reading, providing a unique and engaging experience. - **Abstract Clock Faces:** This trend explores the use of abstract visuals and unconventional designs to display time, challenging traditional clock face layouts. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Wellness and Self-care:** This industry can explore the integration of stress-relief features in time-telling devices to cater to individuals seeking relaxation and mindfulness. - **Consumer Electronics:** This industry can incorporate interactive elements into their time-telling products, enhancing user engagement and creating differentiated offerings. - **Product Design:** This industry can experiment with abstract clock face designs to create visually striking and unconventional time-telling devices. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Concentric Timezone Wall Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/analog-wall-clock.md) - [Subtle Lifestyle-Changing Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superlocal-clock.md) - [Tape Measurable Time Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/setime-clock.md) - [Dynamic Shadow Wall Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/textural-wall-clock.md) - [Minimal Sculptural Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trace-line.md) - [Meditative Vibrating Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stund-watch.md) - [Snowglobe-Inspired Dynamic Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/time-to-snow.md) - [Alternative Time Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dozen-clock.md) - [Half-Hour Timepiece Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arrowatch.md)
