I think I know why these look so attractive:

e-ink is the perfect blend between technology (screen can display whatever you want) and the analogue/physical world (it looks like a piece of paper which you can put in a wooden frame and interact with).

Another example for me is the “Buddha Machine” by FM3 (https://www.fm3buddhamachine.com): it’s basically a box that plays some ambient loops (technology) but it looks like a small and unthreatening transistor radio with nice tactile buttons (physical).

This desktop dashboard with three analog panel meters is gorgeous:

A new version that uses WiFi instead of a defunct paging network would be nice.

Plans to mod original ones so the meters could be driven by a micro-controller or Raspberry Pi would be cool.
