DESK CLOCK '' TV 1960'' from initial idea to prototype and small production

The goal of this project was to design a table clock that would not be technically demanding for small series production. I took into account manufacturing processes such as injection molding and 3D printing. Simple outer body design makes the distinctive dial stand out, which is deep and thus creates a interesting design element.
The back cover for changing the battery is connected by magnets, which in my opinion is the simplest solution for larger production. There is also a table clock stand on the magnets to prevent sliding between the two parts.
The dial has an element that the customer can change, that element is the 1960 logo, which can be replaced by another year or name, customization is always a good move to impress clients. The numbers stand out significantly from the dial, and the depth of the entire dial destroys the idea that every desk clock must have a flat screen. The dial has a more spatial effect and allows light and shadow to create an interesting spectacle inside the dial. In the renderings, the dial glass is available in two variants, a convex glass that offers an interesting distortion that I find very interesting, then also a second variant with classic flat glass for better legibility and cheaper production.
The overall design is carried in a retro spirit - retro design. The inspiration in televisions from the 1950s to 1980s is intended to appeal to a group of people who experienced childhood in those years, and from a psychological point of view it is proven that people often like to return to their carefree childhood in their thoughts. Research related to this topic is available upon request.
The prototype was printed on a 3D printer and the surface was sanded to create a smooth surface. The paint application method consists of 10 layers of varnish and mica powder. I will further develop the method of using mica powder as a painting option and research new procedures that facilitate working with this material.
(I can offer all the documentation for possible small-scale production to potential buyers who would like to start the production of these table clocks).
