Research & Context

Most clocks are circular. This clock will still follow a symmetrical pattern, but with a star as the main shape instead of a circle. Since my design is based on a childhood sketch, there was not much research regarding the actual shape. However, thinking about the way clocks are typically setup allowed me to come up with the shape of the clock being centered on a star than just a free form flower, so that 4 points can specify the 12, 3, 6, and 9 of the clock face.

Another thing to consider is with my design, the petals of the flower will multiply under each layer by 2, and also decrease in size. This is not seen in many flowers, and flower shaped clocks as well. With this design, it will give the shape of the clock a sense of uniqueness, but still allow for it to be easily understood as a clock and as a flower shape.
