Midcentury Motion

The Spindle Clock is a striking example of postwar optimism translated into form. Originally designed in the late 1950s, the silhouette replaces a traditional clock face with radiating wooden spindles—creating a sense of motion, balance, and graphic clarity. It’s a clock that feels expressive without being loud, sculptural without losing its function.

This version captures that same dynamic presence, offering a bold wall clock that anchors a room while remaining light, rhythmic, and unmistakably midcentury in spirit.

Materials

Walnut Spindles
Each hour marker is formed from solid walnut, selected for its warmth, natural grain variation, and visual depth. The tapered spindle shape emphasizes movement and rhythm, giving the clock its sculptural presence while keeping the composition balanced and light.

Brass Accents
Brass is used at the central hub and connection points, adding contrast and a subtle metallic warmth. Its finish introduces a refined counterpoint to the wood, anchoring the design without drawing focus away from the overall form.

Precision-Molded Core
The central structure is made from durable molded components that ensure alignment, stability, and long-term performance. This hidden framework allows the clock to maintain its proportions while supporting the radiating spindles evenly.

High-Grade Quartz Clockwork
A high-quality quartz movement provides accurate, reliable timekeeping with minimal noise, allowing the clock to function quietly while the design takes center stage.

Design

Radiating spindles extend outward from a compact central core, marking the hours through form rather than numbers. The open construction allows light and negative space to pass through, giving the clock a sense of movement even when still. A high-grade quartz movement keeps time accurately and quietly, letting the design remain the focus.
