Making a clock which is working different was the main challenge. there were not any examples of what Pouya had in his mind among the society and social media and the internet, nobody could help him with this but himself. so he started to work on the possibilities of the form and function because these two factors support each other and mach.
- Research
- The research started when the idea of Convey came to mind. First of all, searching about different kinds of clocks, functions, design of clocks, materials and also finding different type of clocks.

During the presentation process It was necessary to search about the best way of presentation.
- Inspiration
- The idea of the Convey design came to Pouya mirhosseini's mind when he was laying on his bed and thinking it was interesting if he could get back in time in that moment. Then he was picturing in the moments having the time travel, hands of clocks are turning backward and anti-clockwise. Then he started to think why clock hands should turn clockwise, why right turning is clockwise, what if a clock hands turn anti-clockwise. So, he stared to think how can he break this rule and design a time machine, a clock.
