# Modernized Vintage Wristwatches Elif Bulut Designs the Vintage Alarm Clock & Wristwatch By Amy Duong | Published 2024-11-27 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vintage-alarm-clock-wristwatch References: [behance.net](https://www.behance.net/gallery/211939677/Modern-day-Vintage-Alarm-Clock-Wristwatch)  Elif Bulut designs the Vintage Alarm Clock & Wristwatch which is the concept that fuses the function of a wristwatch and [alarm clock](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roberts-ortus-5). 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/defy-chronograph-usm) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/type-8-daniel-engelberg) which is a playful way of telling time. The balls glide gracefully along the path to showcase the time.
