Unnecessary and Beautiful

What if you could make a beautiful antique clock, that has spent the last 80 years unused, every bit as accurate and hassle-free as the clock on your phone? 

If you're thinking 'I don't need one, I have my phone', you can probably stop reading now.

If you're thinking 'I love me a bit of wall jewellery, and the warm fuzzy feeling that I get when reclaiming the past', then read on.

There's a kind of clock that was widespread in the early/ mid 1900’s, before the quartz clock came along and took its place. The quartz clock was much more accurate than mechanical clocks, and its compact and inexpensive mechanism made it a massive success.

Comeback

Like any good comeback, the underdog is back (after a training montage) with a new set of skills.

Thanks to the clock driver we built, the old electric clocks are self-adjusting, aware of timezones and as accurate as the internet (ie wayyy more accurate than a quartz clock). We’ve got a carefully-chosen selection of these clocks in our store.

Here’s a video of a clock that was rescued from an attic in Switzerland being paired with our device.
