CC24 White
ClockClock 24 – White consists of a handcrafted housing of mineral composite and electronic components. It is built on proprietary technology—in both software and hardware—which a team of in-house designers, engineers, and programmers has continuously developed since its inception. The objects are carefully hand-assembled at the studio in Stockholm.
The work was first launched in 2008 as The Clock Clock and exhibited at the Saatchi Gallery in London in 2010. Later, it was reissued as ClockClock 24 in partnership with the MoMA store in New York. Today, it is represented in the permanent collections of the Vitra Design Museum in Germany, the Musée International d'Horlogerie in Switzerland, and the Nationalmuseum in Sweden, among others.
Specifications
General
ClockClock 24 is delivered with three meticulously programmed modes of our playful and distinctive clock hand choreographies. The choreographies are inspired by and draw upon natural, artistic and mathematical pattern formations
A program of up to 10 original clock hand choreographies will run for approximately 10 minutes before looping. In between the patterns, the artwork shows the time accurately once every minute.
Choreography Mode 1: Active
Mode 1 consists of ten different choreographies and shows accurate time once each minute. This is the studio’s favoured mode - it is the most varied and intricate.
Choreography Mode 2: Medium
Mode 2 is a selection of five of our most tranquil choreographies, between which ClockClock 24 continues to show accurate time each minute. This mode retains the curiosity of our original concept, with a more serene feel.
Choreography Mode 3: Quiet
In quiet mode ClockClock 24 displays only the time in our digital typography, without any clock-hand choreographies. For moments when only a fine-tuned timepiece is required.
All modes can display either 12 or 24 hour time as preferred.
ClockClock 24 does generate some discernible sound as the motors turn the clock hands, but it is not a loud noise.
Many of our collectors have remarked that the sound emitted is calming and perceptible as a natural noise, similar to waves on the shore or wind through grass.
The artworks are well suited to being placed in living and working spaces. We would not necessarily recommend installation in sleeping quarters for light sleepers.
The artwork can be changed to quiet mode for moments when silence is golden.
