本地產品設計師莊一淦（Alan）相信，每個人對時間都有不同的理解，但時間寶貴卻是毋庸置疑。他義務教授一班本港「未來設計師」自行設計鋁製時鐘，由設計、生產以至銷售都傾囊相授，甚至自資材料供他們完成創作，再義賣為慈善機構籌款。寶貴的是時間，更是他的善心。

時鐘的材料來自Alan家族經營的鋁廠，以他發明的「面換芯移鐘」為基礎：鋁製的鐘面可以拆出回收再造，或與人交換使用，貫徹環保理念；學生則可在鐘面上發揮創意。「依家啲消費者好貪心，好快就想換。」捉摸現代顧客心理，這也是他教授的產品銷售技巧。
 
Local product designer Alan Chong believes that everyone has a different understanding of time, but its preciousness is undeniable. He volunteers to teach a group of Hong Kong's "future designers" how to design their own aluminum clocks, sharing his expertise from design and production to sales. He even funds the materials for their creations, which are then sold to raise funds for charity. What's precious is not just time, but also his kindness.
 
The clocks are made from aluminum from Alan's family-owned aluminum factory, based on his invention of "face-changing clockwork": the aluminum clock face can be disassembled, recycled, or exchanged, embodying an environmentally friendly concept; students can unleash their creativity on the clock face. "Today's consumers are very greedy; they want to change things very quickly." Understanding modern customer psychology is also a key sales technique he teaches.
