Two squares of frosted acrylic, set a few millimeters apart and turned slightly against each other so they stand without a foot. A raised square block at the center holds the movement, and three slim hands run off it — no numerals, no minute markers, nothing printed on the face at all. The color sits inside the acrylic rather than on it, so the panels hold light instead of bouncing it, and the back plate casts a second, softer shadow through the front. Every piece is cut and finished by hand in the studio's own workshop, so fine bubbles and faint marks in the acrylic are normal rather than faults, and both the exact dimensions and the exact shade vary a little between pieces.135 × 39 × 150 mm (±5 mm), 350 g — desk, shelf or bedside scale. It runs on one AA battery, not included, and the compartment is snug enough that a flat screwdriver helps when the cell needs changing. The quartz movement is silent, with no tick. Reading the exact minute takes a beat, since there is nothing on the dial to count against; it tells you roughly where the day is rather than precisely. Lift it by the plates rather than by the face. Near a window is where it does the most, the frosted panels shifting as the afternoon light crosses them. Four colorways: frosted white, frosted green, frosted purple and frosted yellow.
