Elif Bulut designs the Vintage Alarm Clock & Wristwatch which is the concept that fuses the function of a wristwatch and alarm clock. The design is defined by clean lines and smooth finishes but the most charming component is the dials. The center dial boasts a minimal theme and it features four strokes that mark the 12, 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions.
This clean center brings attention to the retro design language where the watches have a labyrinth-style periphery in the middle. The labyrinth-like dial has two colored balls that work as the hour and minute indicators of an analog watch which is a playful way of telling time. The balls glide gracefully along the path to showcase the time.
