The Design

About Reverse Orasan

Habang lumilipas ang oras, ang mga orasan ay nanatiling pareho. Ang baligtad ay hindi isang ordinaryong orasan, ito ay ang pagbaliktad, isang minimalistic na disenyo ng orasan na may banayad na mga pagbabago na ginagawa itong isang uri. Ang kamay na nakaharap sa loob ay umiikot sa loob ng panlabas na singsing upang ipahiwatig ang oras. Ang maliit na kamay na nakaharap sa panlabas ay nakatayo nag-iisa at umiikot upang ipahiwatig ang mga minuto. Ang kabaligtaran ay nilikha sa pamamagitan ng pag-alis ng lahat ng mga elemento ng isorasan maliban sa cylindrical base nito, mula doon ang imahinasyon. Ang disenyo ng orasan na ito ay naglalayong ipaalala sa iyo na yakapin ang oras.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Unique Properties: Reverse is a minimalistic and unordinary clock design with subtle changes making it one of a kind. The little hand moves by the outer edges of the clock and points to the hour while the middle one pivots in the center and points to the minutes. It's simple, yet different.
Dimensions & Packaging: Ø 420 x 30 mm

Production Technology: The two hands of the clock are driven by a quartz clock mechanism with two axes. The minute hand is driven by the inside axel. The outer shell is made out of two visually invisible rings that form a bearing. This mechanism combined with the inside gears allows the outer ring and the hour hand to rotate but also gives the impression that the outer ring is static.
Design Challenge: Coming up with an idea of a clock design that's original, interesting and different was challenging. I started from the basic shape most clocks are made of, a cylinder so that the clock would still be easily recognizable. Then I decided to remove all elements of a clock except the cylindrical base and started imagining what a clock could be. I tried to incorporate all the elements of the original clock design but in a slightly different way, resulting in a design that looked mostly the same but at the same time was entirely different and unique.
Research: This clock design was a personal experiment in which my goal was to design a clock that's visually appealing and different from all others, a clock that lets people embrace time. This unusual perspective created inspiring insights into what a clock could be.
Inspiration: While time flies by, clocks have stayed the same. Most clocks have the same look and feel, there's very little difference in their designs. Why? Isn't it time to see some change? These questions inspired the concept Reverse.
Project Duration: The project was designed and completed in March 2016 in Hasselt, Belgium, and was online publicized on Yanko Design on May 2, 2018, and on Gooood on May 9, 2018, as well as various others.
Operation Flow: The hand facing inward rotates inside the outer ring to indicate the hour. The little hand facing outward stands alone and rotates to indicate the minutes. It's the reversal of the ordinary clock design.
