Japanese mobile company AU has unveiled its latest concept phone featuring a wind-up analog clock.

An attempt to merge the opposing poles of elegance and high-tech, it came from the mind of Spanish designer Jaime Hayon (.ot sure if there was anything opposing that needed merging, but…). Now, in addition to the many functions and conveniences provided by your smartphone, you can now remind yourself of how exquisitely beautiful your device is when you say, “Could you wait just a moment? Please? I need to wind my phone…”

Thus, in your hectic, jam-packed day, you may experience a few moments of being in a different space. Of course, you still get the smartphone’s original digital clock on the screen, but will you even notice it any more…?
