# Elegant Waterbird Clocks Haoshi Design Creates an Artistic Time-Teller that is Visually Striking By Meghan Young | Published 2016-05-10 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waterbird-clock References: [fubiz.net](http://www.fubiz.net/en/2016/04/18/elegant-waterbird-clock/) & [haoshi.tw](http://www.haoshi.com.tw/en/) The Waterbird Clock may tell the time, but it can be confidently be said that people will be just as happy with it once the batteries are dead. More an art piece than anything else, it [hangs on the wall](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/corner-clock) like a little window that shows a surreal scene of nature just outside. After all, water is not usually black nor the sky pure white. Designed by Taiwan-based studio Haoshi Design, the Waterbird Clock comes in three different variations, each depicting three different bird species. Although the [sculptural design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/radius-clock) of the Waterbird Clock is visually striking enough, the [red hand](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dozen-clock) that symbolizes the birds' synchronized heartbeats on the rhythm of the seconds stands out even more. Overall, there is something beautifully poetic about the design as a whole that people will fall in love with. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 58% | Activity: 35% | 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) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/home) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Artistic Time-tellers:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating time-telling devices that combine functionality with artistic design. - **Surreal Nature Scenes:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating art pieces that depict surreal scenes of nature. - **Visual Poetry in Design:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in designing products that evoke a sense of beauty and poetry through visual elements. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Home Decor:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the home decor industry by incorporating artistic elements into functional products. - **Art and Design:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the art and design industry by exploring new ways to blend aesthetics and functionality. - **Clock Manufacturing:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the clock manufacturing industry by creating unique and visually striking time-telling devices. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Intentionally Foggy Clock Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kehai-clock.md) - [Chic Modern Cuckoo Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-cuckoo-clock1.md) - [Kinetic Pattern Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moir-clock.md) - [Concentric Timezone Wall Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/analog-wall-clock.md) - [Flowing Light Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crydal-scroll-clock.md) - [Reimagined Modern Pendulum Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heng-alarm.md) - [Minimal Sculptural Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trace-line.md) - [Elegant Linear Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/linear-clockworks.md) - [Opulent Avian-Accented Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/credor-goldfeather-tourbillon-gbcf999.md)
