Quaint is a wall clock which was inspired by the clock face of an old clock tower. The brass of the clock’s dial and outer periphery are exposed by polishing.
Thin engravings on the clock face form a dial on the colored surface, exposing the brass below.
Quaint clocks emphasize the natural qualities of their materials, using the attractive contrast between the brass and colored finish to enhance the visibility of the clock face. The distinctive texture is achieved by a process of brass casting that uses traditional coloring techniques originating from Takaoka, Toyama. The rich texture is intended to stand up to walls that have a strong material quality, such as exposed concrete or brick.
