01CLOCKS
Silent Sweep Mid-Century Sphere
A sphere of matte white acrylic sits quietly on the bedside table, its tilted face angled toward you in the dim light. The form is pure mid-century, a sculptural object that belongs as much to the shelf as the nightstand.
This Newgate clock uses a silent sweep quartz movement, so time passes without the usual ticking distraction. It suits those who value visual calm and a steady, uninterrupted rhythm in their mornings.
DESIGN
Sculptural Form and Tilted Face
The clock presents as a solid sphere, finished in a matte pebble white that softens reflections. The dial is not flat but tilted, creating an immediate sense of depth and perspective. Metal pointer hands contrast against the white surface, marking hours with clean, precise lines rather than ornate detailing.
MOVEMENT
Constant Motion Without Sound
Inside, a quartz mechanism drives the hands in a continuous sweep rather than a stepped tick. This 'silent sweep' action eliminates the rhythmic clicking often associated with alarm clocks. In a perfectly still room, only the faintest whisper of motion may be perceptible, keeping the air undisturbed.
DETAILS
Acrylic Construction and Power
Constructed from acrylic, the body includes a matching lens that protects the dial while maintaining clarity. The unit weighs 0.16 kg, making it easy to reposition on any flat surface. Operation requires a single high-quality alkaline AA battery, which is not included in the package.
