Hasta La Ideas

This Clock is designed and manufactured by Barnaby Tuke in collaboration with Studio Special, both based in the UK. Referencing automotive dials, the clock’s nuanced construction and simple materiality highlight the engineered hands. For example, the central disk masks the appearance of a rotational axis, encouraging the viewer to focus on the fragmented line the brightly colored hands create as they rotate against the nearly-blank face.

This wall clock is also meticulously fabricated: the face is screen printed by hand in a small Sussex shop, the hands are crafted by an artisan maker, and the body of the clock has a recessed cavity for the quartz mechanism, allowing the whole thing to be mounted flush to the wall. Available in four color combinations, This Clock can be ordered directly from Barnaby Tuke .
