Created in the spirit of California Studio Craft and Organic Modern design of the late 1960s–1970s, the piece functions equally as a timepiece and a statement wall sculpture.

Minimalist brass hands and applied brass dot hour markers are subtly integrated into the surface, allowing the extraordinary burl figure to remain the focal point. The reverse is hollowed to accommodate the clock mechanism while preserving the organic edge silhouette and enabling secure wall mounting.

With its substantial scale and one-of-a-kind natural form, this clock brings warmth, texture, and sculptural presence to interiors ranging from mid-century modern and organic modern to wabi-sabi and contemporary spaces. No two burl formations are ever alike.

The clock mechanism and hands have been updated for reliable modern use, while the original sculptural burl wood form remains unaltered. See less
