Lemnos HERSTORY Clock - Shooting Star

“Herstory” is “her story of pursuing her dream.” True to its name, this clock is designed to tell a story about a girl getting closer to her “dream” every hour.Symbolic motifs of “dreams”—a balloon, butterfly, and shooting star—are strategically placed at the 12 o’clock position on the clock face. When the girl on the minute hand progresses towards these motifs, it creates the visual effect of her reaching out to catch them. The hour hand serves as the girl’s “shadow,” symbolizing her “past,” while the minute hand signifies her “present” as she moves forward, overcoming various “pasts.The designer wishes to “support bright women around the world” by offering them an avenue to manifest their own “dreams” through the motif, integrate the clock into their daily lives, and envision the “future.” The numerical indicators on the clock face feature an original font drawn by the designer, evoking the flow of air like a gentle breeze, lending the motif a dynamic sense of movement. The English text just below the center reads “Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.” The quote by Danish philosopher and thinker Søren Kierkegaard serves as a motivating message, encouraging women to stride towards their “dreams.” Place the clock on or near your desk and enjoy the heartwarming experience of reading her story unfolding behind the glass.
