A digital clock is a type of clock that displays the time in numerals or other symbols, as opposed to an analogue clock, where the time is indicated by the positions of rotating hands. The earliest patent for a digital alarm clock was registered by D.E Protzmann and others on October 23, 1956, in the United States. Two side-plates held digital numerals between them, while an electric motor and cam gear outside controlled movement. In 1970, the first digital wristwatch (called the Pulsar) with an LED display was mass-produced by the Hamilton Watch Company. This style of watch was modeled after a prototype digital watch designed for Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey Throughout the 1970s, despite the initial hefty cost of digital watches, the popularity of the watches steadily rose. The design of this rug reflects the face of the modern day digital chronometer clock. To represent energy, bright lines radiating through the clock were added in the background.
