Abstract: This paper analyses the human time perception mechanism regarding the use of analogue clocks based on the design theory of analogue on digital (AoD theory). With the examination, the authors would propose the method to apply the design elements of analogue clock into the digital devices such as smart watches and smartphones to the schedule management. The proposed application, targets smartwatches as media and represents the reality of time passing that is originally provided by analogue clocks. The interface design adopts the time representation of analogue clocks into the schedule display so that it can intuitively indicate the lapse of time passing for each activity scheduled in a day. Moreover, we design the user's operational experience close to that of analogue tools by realising 'the real feel of using clocks' through the representation of the spring-driven system on digital style.
