Hi there, My Name is Alex Buga, I'm from Bucharest Romania, and I am a design-addict - in the good way. I work as a Creative Director at MB Dragan - (True) Interactive Agency.
TIME TUNER BY ANTREPO DESIGN
Man how I want one of these…
Although its name states it, it’s not a radio tuner with a clock.
It’s just an old fashion alarm clock with mp3 player for your timetable. It comes with three color options, Pure Black, Clean White, Strong Metal.
The simplicity of its design and the beautiful looks make me want one of these more than a flip clock. It’s just gorgeous !

Dude, you have an issue with accessibility :))
The red line splitting the bar in 2 slices, points the minutes. Consider it like an analog clock with no numbers. You can tell the minutes by estimating the position of the minute pointer just like an analog clock.
That’s the whole beauty of it. ;)

Asta m-am prins si eu, dar uita-te atent la el si spune-mi daca vezi vreun fel de gradatii sau macar spatiu suficient pentru a ghici ora intre 12 si 1 ;)
Chiar daca ar merge linia pana la capatul device-ului, dupa ora 12 si pana in ora 1 ar fi loc doar pentru 30 minute.
Totusi, daca un design e atat de reusit incat sa iti fure privirea si sa te faca sa nu observi problemele de functionalitate (cam cum au facut apple cu mighty mouse-ul si cu tastaturile alu) poti spune ca este reusit :P

Dude,
The gradations as the same as in the hours :|
And the second half hour from 12 to 1, is before 1 ;)
Come on dude, don’t be such a critic. The design is awesome. It’s a clock, not a website.

Lol! Now I get it. Geez I can’t believe I got suckered by the taller lines. You’re right. It rullez. I’m owned :D

“The design is awesome. It’s a clock, not a website.”
The reality is that industrial design is ten times more critical and following more strict rules than web design.
This will never see the light of day as a functional product because no company will risk putting such a flawed product on the market. The jump from graphic to ID doesn’t mean just drawing cool images.
This is not the first or last time and there are lots of examples of concepts that have a non-deserved advertising because people don’t understand (or just don’t see) why an element that isn’t well though, on a product means disaster.

I know what you mean, but that’s the reason they don’t mass produce them.
They’re made for people like me who like an object like that for the sake of art :)

Hi Alex! Your webpage is amazing, although I have checked your code a bit and it seems you do it in html, how do you do it?

I’m not a radio, too!
Minu Tuner is a minute edition of Time tuner. Same style, same base of design but more colourful touch and more digitalized. the second generation clock design, developed by Antrepo Design Industry.

Arata bine intr-adevar, dar eu unul nu vad cum ar putea acest exemplu aratos de design ineficient sa imi arate ora 12:35. Design-ul trebuie sa fie in primul rand functional, nu? :)
