# Water Clock Way Cooler Than Anything You Own By Hobbyist | Published 2007-02-08 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/when-water-is-used-to-display-time-the-chronarte-canna References: [turbogadgets](http://www.turbogadgets.com/2007/02/08/when-water-is-used-to-display-time-the-chronarte-canna/) I've seen plenty of watches that make telling time difficult in the name of precision but the ChronArte [Quadro](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-fiodor) [wall clock](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/corner-clock) brings a similar idea to home decor. The watch uses colored textile bands which build up over time to form a colored face. After 12 hours when it is all colored in it changes back to a white square. The clock is radio-controlled and changes automatically from standard to daylight-saving time. It is in an aluminum frame that comes in various colors and finishes. Each once is produced in Switzerland and is a numbered piece. ChronArte also makes the Canna, a wall with a liquid display of colored water and the [Filo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/og-brick-lamp), a column clock which fills with color showing how the minutes and hours or days pass. The Quadro sells for around $4650. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.7/10 - Popularity: 77% | Activity: 85% | 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) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Precision Time Display:** The use of colored textile bands to visualize time provides a unique and visually appealing way to display precise time. - **Automated Time Adjustment:** The radio-controlled feature of the ChronArte Quadro allows for seamless and automatic transition between standard and daylight-saving time. - **Interactive Home Decor:** The incorporation of the ChronArte Quadro wall clock into home decor offers an interactive and ever-changing element to interior design. ### Where This Applies - **Luxury Home Decor:** The ChronArte Quadro wall clock and its companion products provide an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the luxury home decor industry by offering unique and visually captivating time display solutions. - **Watch Manufacturing:** The use of innovative textile bands in the ChronArte Quadro watch opens up possibilities for disruptive innovation in the watch manufacturing industry by introducing new ways to visualize time. - **Smart Home Technology:** The automated time adjustment feature of the ChronArte Quadro presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the smart home technology industry by integrating precise timekeeping with seamless time adjustment capabilities. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Flowing Light Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crydal-scroll-clock.md) - [Tubular Illuminating Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spacetime-blade.md) - [Kinetic Pattern Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moir-clock.md) - [Elegant Linear Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/linear-clockworks.md) - [Pixelated Flip-Style Wall Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miniot-klapklok.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) - [Concentric Timezone Wall Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/analog-wall-clock.md) - [Linearly Formed Wall Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/linear-clock-concept.md)
