Odotus Clock by forrdesign from uk
designer's own words:
The anticipation of giving and receiving gifts is experienced by millions of people all year round, it is one experience that is shared by at least two people at the same time, revolving around one item.
A chosen dial illuminates when a message, image, or video has been sent from family or friends, indicating the time you have to wait until to view the message. The rear circular reflective display can be altered to show the current time, a countdown, or a slideshow of memories.
The solid wooden casing reinforces a feeling of warmth, another feeling you get from giving and receiving gifts from family and friends. And the illuminating dials give off an intriguing glow, keeping you waiting in anticipation for the gift to appear.
