Retro Communication Time Tellers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Morse Code Clock Requires Decoding in Order to Be Read

— May 16, 2013 — Art & Design
Although one can probably figure out what time it is just by the position of the hands, the Morse Code Clock offers a nod to the first form of long distance communication. Instead of numbers, the Morse Code Clock has the necessary length of tones -- long and short -- to represent the various digits that would appear on a standard time teller.

Perhaps the Morse Code Clock would be great for someone who is actually looking to learn the communication method or -- more likely -- is a fan of intellectually stimulating design. With this design, it might be a thought to verbally communicate the sequence of tones to a friend who asks the time rather than actually speak the digits.
Trend Themes
1. Retro Communication - Creating products that pay homage to historical communication methods, like the Morse Code Clock, can appeal to consumers interested in nostalgia and unique designs.
2. Intellectually Stimulating Design - Designing products that challenge and engage consumers mentally, like the Morse Code Clock, can attract individuals looking for more than just a functional item.
3. Educational Timepieces - Developing time tellers that incorporate educational elements, such as the Morse Code Clock, can appeal to consumers interested in learning new skills while also fulfilling a practical need.
Industry Implications
1. Home Decor - The home decor industry can leverage the trend of retro communication by offering products like the Morse Code Clock that blend functionality and unique design.
2. Education - The education industry can embrace the trend of intellectually stimulating design by incorporating products like the Morse Code Clock into learning environments to engage students.
3. Fashion Accessories - The fashion accessories industry can tap into the trend of educational timepieces by designing stylish watches or bracelets inspired by communication methods, like the Morse Code Clock, that also provide educational value.
