The circular hole pattern on this clock is a direct nod to the perforation studies conducted by HfG Ulm students under Gui Bonsiepe's guidance in 1966. The Ulm students treated perforation as a design language in its own right, exploring its semiotic potential. The Ulm Clock reinterprets this approach, balancing purpose and aesthetics: the outer ring of holes doubles as the clock's hour markers, while the pattern as a whole echoes the speaker grilles found on early Braun products.
