MOOV Designed by Ryosuke Fukusada MOOV is a contemporary pendulum clock crafted from perforated metal.While retaining the familiar structure and function of a classic pendulum clock, MOOV offers a fresh take. The pendulum remains partially visible through the circular cutouts, allowing movement and light to subtly fill the design. This interplay between transparency and rhythm highlights the unique character of the material.The clock’s indexes are precisely aligned with selected cutouts and finished in complementary tones, creating a seamless connection between form and function. The clocks come in 4 colorways, white, ivory, mint blue, and green, neutral calming colors that are versatile in a range of interiors. An accent color in a more saturated tones highlights the hands and indexes, adding subtle vibrancy without overwhelming the design.The case is crafted from perforated sheet metal using metalworking techniques such as cutting, bending, welding, and painting, processes refined over time in Japan’s Niigata region. The perforated metal is accurately cut with a tool called a punch to ensure clean lines and proper alignment of the holes allowing for efficient production without compromising on craftsmanship. The metal construction provides durability and a refined finish, while the hole-punched surface keeps the piece lightweight. Together, they form a fresh take on the timeless clocks tailored for contemporary living.
