The Anicorn ?Trio of Time? Redundant Watch
A wristwatch design combining 12 miniature clock faces into one singular expression of time will remind you every minute and hour counts.
Most sequels attempt to top the original with something bigger and better. But Redundant wall clock designer, Ji Lee ? a Communication Designer at Facebook and former creative director at the Google Creative Lab ? found himself with the opportunity to follow-up with a design smaller and more personal, turning his wall clock into a wristwatch.
Hong Kong-based Anicorn approached Ji Lee to redesign his wall timepiece into the Redunant Watch for the company’s The Trio of Time series, where it joins Jiwoong Jung?s Hidden Time timepiece, alongside Hamish Smyth and Jesse Reed’s New York Order designs. Borrowing the same “12 miniature hands face plus one large time display” design as its wall-mounted inspiration, Lee’s wristwatch again uses each miniature arrangement of hands to display each hour of the day (non-moving), for an inventive ode to the passing of time. We talked to Anicorn founder Joe Kwan about the challenges and appeal of transforming a 12-inch design into a 40mm diameter timepiece.
