Desk Clock

Description

I am a Desk Clock. What’s the rush? Time has no agenda.

Curator’s Notes

I’ve always felt that every object has its spirit, and clocks in particular have character. One might hurry me along while another suggests that I savor the day. The classic face of this desk clock feels like an old friend, and everything about it shines with quality and precision. The numerals are embossed in velvety black ink onto textured ivory paper. The base has been gently inclined so that the face leans slightly upwards towards your gaze. Its dark wood brings warmth, its classic numerals bring comfort, and its silently sweeping hand brings peace.
