A collaboration between two Dutch companies, the LEFF amsterdam Base Ceramic Clock combines LEFF’s traditions of timepiece manufacturing excellence with the exceptional household designs of Jos Kranen and Johannes Gille. Perhaps more than any other release, this product exemplifies LEFF’s commitment to the creation of iconic interior clocks. The LEFF amsterdam Base Ceramic Clock straddles the line between timepiece and art object. Everyone who looks at this exceptional item inevitably sees something different. And that, according to Kranen/Gille, is the textbook definition of good design.
Available in both white and matte black varieties, the Base Ceramic Clock takes stringently-researched industrial production archetypes and plays with them to create a strikingly unique shape, building upon recognizable industrial details to make something entirely new. The ceramic body of each clock is handcrafted by the Netherlands ceramic art centre Cor Unum, and the experts at LEFF add clockworks and brass-colored hands. In addition to its dramatic aesthetic qualities, the Base Ceramic Clock is a useful and reliable timekeeper with German UTS movement under battery power. Each unit sold comes with a full 5-year warranty.
