I don't mind the idea of juxtaposing something industrial with something organic (contrasting materials is always a nice way to draw attention), however with your tagline it sends a mixed message. The tagline is implying that these are the places your clocks are made for...which isn't the case. Now if these were landscapes that inspired the clocks (ie, we see some shapes that mimic your holes) than we would see a connection. Ie. If these are "extraordinary clocks inspired by extraordinary places" then I can see it working.

A good way to measure success of something fairly subjective like design, is to compare it to the expectations of your audience, and to understand where you position yourself in the market. With my design students, I always start off by asking "who is your audience?", because that is a huge driver whether something is successful or not. Otherwise we are just dealing in opinions.

Are these high end art pieces? Are they precision clocks? Are they lower/mid-range accessory pieces meant as decoration? The higher end these pieces are, the more you need to make sure it's presented professionally. If this is something you can use for a long time, considering setting up a professional photoshoot....ideally in a beautiful home/office setting, or at least something that feels a little more high end. HDR is not high end. High end industrial design is all about details and quality.

But again, it all depends on who you are talking to with these.

Thank you very much for this. Very good points.
