How it is made
We wanted to bring solid wood and mechanics together in a light, simple clock. The case is American tulipwood, chosen even and calm in grain: two pieces in the base and two single-board sides, plus the movement support. Stefano finishes it in a semi-gloss, water-based medium walnut.
The glass at the back and top is 10 mm thick, with polished edges, and slides forward so you can clean off even the finest dust. The door is 8 mm tempered glass, with glass hinges and a click catch. The glazier is Giovanni Casella.
Since you can see through it, it does not hide a fine wall if you place it in front, and it also works in the middle of a room. The white oval dial, with a small flower and black Roman numerals, was made for us by the German firm Jaeckle.
