Inspired by the earlier Bling Bling medallion, Tjep layers the wheels and gears of clockwork to form the hearts that make up a new series of pendants and timepieces. Other symbolic elements include wings and flames, all part and parcel of the
complicated mechanism of emotion. Clockwork Love is an expression of wishful thinking, but we all know love

Not to fear – this clock doesn’t actually have a man trapped inside – instead a flatscreen plays a 24 hour loop video loop by the artist painstakingly erasing and re-writing each minute. This video was taken at Design Miami during Art Basel Miami Beach 2009. This may finally dispel any doubts about the man in the moon.

Reflecting the duality and unity of the sleep/wake cycle, Swedish designer Henrik Amberla has popped up an innovative alarm clock that looks more like a piece of art than a timepiece. The Milky Way, as the designer hails his alarm clock, is an illustration of a turning motion that triggers the snooze function. The Milky Way features another turning motion, which let the users set time and alarm on its (possibly) reflective surface, without hampering the smooth and sleek design of the clock.
