MANOLO'CLOCK is a novelty alarm clock shaped like Manolo el del Bombo, the iconic drummer of Spanish football fandom, playing the real recorded sound of his legendary drum — captured at Sound Garden studios using his original bombo. It was built to help Spanish fans wake for 2026 World Cup matches falling at 3, 4, or 6 AM local time, the tournament being hosted in North America.

Client: AS (Prisa Media), agency Havas Creative, directed by Jesús Rasines. Production for AND Tonic, distributed as daily giveaways through AS's app and Fan Zone contests, across video, print, radio, digital, and social.

I designed the electronics and PCB, and helped the team get the project finished on time.
