Description

ClockClock 24 – Black Golden Hands consists of a handcrafted housing of mineral composite, 22 Karat gold-plated clock hands and electronic components. It is built on proprietary technology—in both software and hardware—which a team of in-house designers, engineers, and programmers has continuously developed since its inception. The objects are carefully hand assembled at our studio in Stockholm.

The work was first launched in 2008 as The Clock Clock and exhibited at the Saatchi Gallery in London in 2010. Later, it was reissued as ClockClock 24 in partnership with the MoMA store in New York. Today, it is represented in the permanent collections of the Vitra Design Museum in Germany, the Musée International d'Horlogerie in Switzerland, and the Nationalmuseum in Sweden, among others.

Features

ClockClock 24 is delivered with three meticulously programmed modes of playful and distinctive clock hand choreographies. The choreographies are inspired by and draw upon natural, artistic and mathematical pattern formations

A program of up to 10 original clock hand choreographies will run for approximately 10 minutes before looping. In between the patterns, the artwork shows the time accurately once every minute.
