Arne Jacobsen Roman Wall Clock - Aluminium, Mineral Glass

The Roman wall clock, designed by Arne Jacobsen in 1942 for Aarhus City Hall, offers a faithful reproduction of the original drawings. Its classic Roman hour index and decorative black hands sit on a white dial, framed by an aluminium case and protected by mineral glass. The mechanism case is shaped so the clock appears to float on the wall, adding to its striking lightness. It runs on a Japanese RHYTHM movement and requires AA 1.5V batteries (not included). W16 cm.

The Roman wall clock presented here by Arne Jacobsen, the world-famous Danish architect and interior designer, is a clock that was designed in 1942 for the City Hall building in the Danish city of Aarhus, a building that was also designed by Arne Jacobsen. The appearance of the clock, which is now available in four sizes, is faithful to the designer's original drawings and is mainly characterised by a classic Roman hour index, decorative black hands, a white dial, an aluminium case and mineral glass. Thanks to the mechanism case and its design, the clock seems to float in the air, which adds to its extraordinary lightness. The clock is equipped with a Japanese RHYTHM mechanism (except for the largest version with SKP mechanism) and is powered by AA 1.5V batteries (batteries not included).
