About Synchron Orologio Da Tavolo
Synchron è un orologio analogico universale che mostra simultaneamente l'ora ufficiale di diversi paesi. A differenza degli orologi digitali, questo orologio da tavolo mostra un'immagine identica in tutti i luoghi, cioè contrappone la comprensione meccanica del tempo alla sua percezione arbitraria. Il concetto riguarda il confronto problematico con il tempo ed è preso da una prospettiva critica che riconosce l'orologio come simbolo del lavoro nell'era digitale. Un tipo di estetica nella performance, che nell'epoca attuale è considerata un inutile abietto decorativo, a cui ci si aspetta che funzioni continuamente.

Time zones can also be customized based on the user's desired locations.

- Production Technology
- The frame of the clock is made of polypropylene fiber reinforced concrete fabricated by manual molding method and the discs have various models with different materials, includes aluminum and coated PVC sheet cut and engraved by CNC. This clock also uses a simple movement mechanism.
- Design Challenge
- The most important challenge was changing the DST status. So, there are two daylight saving and standard time sides for the hour disk. On the daylight saving time side, the time differences between the places (daylight saving time in the Northern Hemisphere) and other places have been applied.
- Research
- The concept of Synchron is taken from a theoretical perspective that recognizes the analog clock as a symbol of labor in the digital age. As digital displays embedded in everyday objects constantly remind us about the importance of time, analog clocks are more or less useless, and also they are decorative objects that can only be expected to work continuously. Synchron tries to answer the question of how a design focused on mechanical performance can institutionalize an anti-design approach.
- Inspiration
- Unconventional statement of time besides normal functionality; that is to say, Problematic confrontation with time is the main idea of this decorative clock. A type of aesthetic in performance, that in the present age is considered as an object possessing a formal and decorative perspective.
- Project Duration
- The design project started in November 2018 and finished in December 2019 in Tehran, IRAN.
- Operation Flow
- In this clock, two discs are used instead of the usual hour hands such that each of the half-lines represents the hour hand of the place whose name is engraved on the top of that line, and the small line on the small disk is the minute-hand. Some hour hands lines lead to a circle sign which indicates that, in contrast to other locations, the minute-hand of the location is a small circle on a small disk.
