Wooden desk clock lets you tell time in an analog, elegant way

Where I’m from, some private schools have reportedly started removing clocks from their classrooms and halls since kids don’t know anymore how to tell time the analog way. But for us who grew up actually knowing how to use these clocks to know what time it is, it’s still useful to have them around. In fact, they add a certain nostalgic aesthetic to our space.

Designer: Lautaro Lucero

A concept for an aesthetic Wooden Desk Clock was developed by the designer in collaboration with Shapr3D. It is a minimalist clock that you can place on your bedside table or your working desk so you can still use the old school method to know what time it is, instead of just looking at your phone or computer. It is crafted from different wood types that were CNC-machined: walnut, cherry, or maple wood.

The clock is made up of two parts: the clock head where you can tell the actual time in an analog way and a supportive frame. The latter serves as both the base and also functional handle where you can adjust the angle, at least vertically. The different wood types used give the clock a minimalist but elegant look because of the contrast of the different warm tones of the wood and the smooth, curved surfaces.

If ever you have kids around you, then it would still be nice if they could tell time using the short and long hand. This wooden desk clock would probably be even more of a challenge since there are no numbers so you need to be familiar with the general direction of the time.
