The unique thing about these clocks is that the design of each clock in this series focuses on the hands instead of the face.
If you look at the clocks, they are just comprised of straight lines but the movement of the hands of these clocks gives a lot of meaning to them.
The 'Perspective Clocks' is a series of five clocks where straight white lines rotate over a plain black face, resembling a drawing study on a canvas. Each face has a slightly different ending, emphasizing its own character.
Studio Ve initially launched the two clocks (Manifold and Lithe clocks) in the past and after looking at their success decided to create an entire series of clocks that reflect upon the different ways that people deal with the different issues that they face in their day to day lives.
"Some people are systematic, approaching challenges step by step. Other view things from different angles, while some people focus directly on the target. We wanted to create a clock for just about everyone."Here are the clocks in the series:
1. D Clock - Different Angles
A constant reminder that objects look different, depending on a point of view, this clock has 3 hands (hour, minute and seconds) and its diameter is 220mm/8.6 inch. If you stand in front of the clock you'll see straight lines but when you look at the clock from the side you'll see a complex shape.
2. K Clock - Systematic Movement
With two hands (hour and minute), this clock comprises of too many straight lines. All lines converge at a point that represents the position of the hand. In the course of an hour each endpoint of one hand meets each endpoint of the other. In a full cycle the endpoints of each hand meet 143 times. The diameter of this clock is 200mm/7.9 inch.
3. P Clock - Burst from Inside
With three hands (hour, minute and second) this clock is no collection of complex straight lines nor it shows different shapes when viewed from a different angle but is more like a simple clock with 3D prism-like hands and a cone-shaped base. The diameter of this clock is 245mm/9.6 inch.
4. V Clock - Focus on Target
With two hands (hour and minute), this clock uses vanishing points, a tool developed by the artists during the renaissance period that represents the world with perspective. The diameter of this clock is 250mm/9.8 inch.
5. Z Clock - Wander Around
With two hands (hour and minute) that move around the face of this clock, this is the most unique clock in this collection. Just checkout the movement of this clocks hand. The daimeter of this clock is 220mm/8.6 inch.
The folks at Studio Ve for several years have been fascinated with time and are constantly exploring different and unique ways to express the movement of the three hands of the clock and how they dictate our lives.
Currently, Studio Ve is crowd-funding the 'Perspective Clocks' on Kickstrarter. The money raised from this campaign would be used to make these clocks, since the costs of tooling, and moreover, the MOQ (Minimum Order Quantity) of each clock are high.
If you like these clocks make sure to help Studio Ve reach their pledged goal before 26th January, 2014.
