Minimalist Flip Clock: A Modern Take on Hitachi DW221

Posted Aug 25, 2026

This project is a minimalist concept for a desktop flip clock, inspired by the classic Hitachi DW221 from the 1970s. I reimagined the vintage design with a modern twist, retaining the retro flip mechanism while adding clean lines and pastel tones for a minimalist aesthetic.  This personal portfolio piece showcases my skills in 3D modeling and visualization of simple objects. Created in Blender using reference photos found online, the focus is on realistic lighting, textures, and composition to highlight the design’s elegance.
