The 46thNot a smart watch
. I am insensitive to many things , sound being one of them. . I don't often have trouble sleeping because it's too loud outside, or I can't concentrate with music in my ears.
Perhaps the fact that the house I lived in when I was a child was built on the side of a main road, or perhaps the fact that I rented an apartment under a train guard when I was younger, was one factor that further diminished my senses. . Conversing in front of club speakers with eardrums chattering was also a common sight around the 1980s. . Is this the reason why my hearing is a little bit far away?
At work, I listen to the radio or play music, but editor H doesn't like that and immediately turns the volume down. I turn up the volume, but he says, "No, no, no, no." I go to the restroom and come back. When I go to the restroom and come back, the volume is turned down.
Some of my acquaintance's companies play music as loud as a club. They say it motivates them more. I don't want to do that, but I feel more comfortable in a place with a certain amount of noise than in a place with a scene.
. When I read, I can concentrate better with music on than with silence. I heard that there are some studies that show that silence helps people concentrate better, but this does not apply to me.
Even for a man with such a not-so-sensitive sensibility, there is one sound that he does not like. . It is the ticking of a clock. For some reason, I have not liked this sound since I was young.
There were nights when I would wake up in the middle of the night and try to go back to sleep, but the sound would bother me so much that I could not go back to sleep. When I couldn't go back to the dream world, I would remove the batteries.
In general, most of the well-designed alarm clocks are of the tick-tock type. I have never been satisfied with my alarm clocks. . I have never been satisfied with an alarm clock.
I have been living in the morning for years and no longer need an alarm clock. When I need an alarm clock, I now use my smartphone. So I no longer have a clock in my house.
To know the time in the house, one only needs to look at the digital display on the front of the radio. I have been living like that for a long time.
But in the past few years, aging has made me nearsighted and the blue digital letters appear blurry. I can't tell the time, at least not from my position on the couch. I don't wear a watch when I'm at home, and my phone is not always nearby. In such cases, I would get up from the sofa and walk over to the radio to check the time.
This is quite a chore, and I sometimes misallocate my time or go to bed at the wrong time.
One day, he suddenly realized that he could solve this problem by buying a wall clock. . and so began a long journey in search of a clock. . although I was not that enthusiastic about it.
. I only look for them occasionally when I go to an interior design store or a general store. It is difficult to find a product that meets the three criteria of design, size balance, and sound.
Then one day, many years later, I was walking down Hachiman-dori in Daikanyama , and saw a new general store. The place was run by Sotheby's League, and I had just met with their executive a few days before.
As you probably know by now, I found this clock there. It is battery-operated, and while other "Braun" clocks make noise, this one is silent. The design is nice and clean, and above all, it is lightweight. It is light enough to be hung on the wall with a thumbtack (my own comparison, so use at your own risk).
. I also discovered that an analog display is better for clocks. The speed of transmission from the eyes to the brain is faster (again, compared to myself).
By the way, this store is what is called a gift store . I thought it would be a great gift for a small person, because of its price and ease of use.
I wish it had smart speaker features with this kind of size and design. amazon and google don't just put LCD on everything.

This wall clock from Braun is a faithful reproduction of the ABW30, which is now in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York. The three-dimensional dial suppresses reflections of light and maintains a beautiful form, no matter which way you look at it. The silent design is also a major feature of this product.
