State of Day : A design proposal for an alternative watch.

The project explores an alternative timekeeping device that without a digital screen and use of electrical light displays five distinct shades representing each stage of light a day consists of. The thesis presents a design proposal for an alternative watch that through unconventional methods uses natural light to gradually reveal the passage of time. Furthermore, design research includes observations of and interactions with other-than humans (such as the Calathea plant and a Spiral Grained Tree) and their relation to time and light. Underlying the two main themes is the topic of mental health and stress-related illness that has rapidly increased in Sweden over the past few years.
