Bringing the Solar System to Your Desktop

Inspired by the singularity of geometrical figures and the rotation of time and space, the Dome table clock by Josep Vera Arús is a micro universe in itself.

Designed by renowned designer Josep Vera Arús, the Dome table clock is a stunning piece that combines art, architecture, and technology. Made from solid wood that is expertly lathed and varnished, this desktop clock stands out with its unique design and functionality.

The Dome table clock features a sunken circular mark that indicates the time, along with an interior horary needle with a magnet. What sets it apart is the independent plastic ball lacquered with a rounded interior magnet. This ball rotates around and over itself, indicating only the hours. The result is a mesmerizing display that captures the essence of time.

With a quartz movement powered by a 1.5v alkaline battery, the Dome table clock is not only visually captivating but also reliable and accurate. It comes in different sizes and wood finishes, allowing you to choose the perfect fit for your space.

From the initial idea to the final prototype, the Dome table clock underwent intense research and experimentation. The designer, along with suppliers and craftsmen, conducted technical research to find the perfect materials and ensure the clock's seamless functionality. The result is a clock that not only tells time but also sparks curiosity and fascination.

The Dome table clock was designed and produced in Terrassa, Barcelona, with the project starting in October 2015 and concluding in December 2015. Throughout the design process, the clock received positive feedback from participants, suppliers, and the public, thanks to its unique visual impact and innovative working system.

Recognized for its exceptional design, the Dome table clock was awarded the Iron A' Design Award in 2016. This prestigious award is given to designs that demonstrate practicality, innovation, and adherence to industry standards. The Dome table clock's integration of best practices and technical excellence contributes to a better world.
