Object Autopsy Homework

alarm-clock.jpg

this project was fun because it allowed me to explore an interest in time machines.

the project began with an ordinary, generic alarm clock. I then opened it up with a screwdriver and this gave me a view of the injection molded shell and the hand assembled interior. The case makes a very poor attempt at looking “futuristic” while the brand “Seth Thomas” attempts to reference a Victorian era with its script font.

Here is the disassembly of my beautiful clock.

The clock is no more, it is only blood and guts.
