The Sissonne table clock takes its name from the ballet jump, the poised spring before a dancer reaches the highest point. Its glazed ceramic body is fluted like a small column, and the hour marks are carved directly into the surface. That precision is difficult to keep crisp under glaze. At eleven centimeters wide, it comes in two colorways: Giselle White and Sleeping Beige.Set on a desk or shelf, its wedge-shaped face tilts upward for a clear view from above. The custom three-dimensional stainless steel second hand sweeps silently. A weighted base grips the surface, while the 415-gram ceramic body feels more substantial than the plastic clocks around it. It runs on one AA battery, which is not included because batteries cannot travel by international air freight.The ceramic is finished by hand. Minor pinholes and specks can appear. The glaze may also pool slightly in places.
