The Vertical Clock by Gavin Henderson (or the verTICK) is way more interesting to look at. As each minute and hour passes, the [three bars move up and down](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/setime-clock). The Vertical Clock by Gavin Henderson can reach up to a little over 17 inches in length and then back down to 10. For the unconventional clock watcher, this is a must. I bet Henderson was one of those kids watching the clock at school! ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 59% | Activity: 70% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Vertical Clocks:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Reimagining traditional clocks by designing them vertically for a unique and captivating time-telling experience. - **Interactive Timepieces:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating clocks with moving components that provide an interactive and engaging way to track time. - **Unconventional Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Challenging the norms of clock design by introducing unconventional shapes and forms. ### Who This Affects Most - **Clock Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Manufacturing vertical clocks to cater to consumers looking for visually appealing and unique timekeeping devices. - **Interior Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporating vertical clocks as statement pieces in interior design to enhance aesthetic appeal and create conversation starters. - **Education:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introducing interactive vertical clocks in educational settings to make time-tracking more engaging and improve students' time management skills. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Linearly Formed Wall Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/linear-clock-concept.md) - [Two-Sided Wall Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/corner-clock.md) - [Elegant Linear Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/linear-clockworks.md) - [Unique Timekeeping Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unique-timekeeping-device.md) - [Reimagined Modern Pendulum Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heng-alarm.md) - [Mechanical Digital Mesmerizing Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triaxial-numechron-clock.md) - [Venn Diagram Wall Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jetlag-clock.md) - [Flowing Light Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crydal-scroll-clock.md) - [Workweek Visualization Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/household-clock.md)
