Clock hands are generally
regarded to simply indicate time. The Dragon Clock utilizes the clock hands as
a dynamic moving sculpture as well as a time keeper. By simply adding a
secondary pivot joint to the connection of the minute and seconds hand, the
total time indication unit turns into a snake like moving structure which has
never been attempt in any time piece before. Most clocks retain a static surface to indicate time. The Dragon Clock
reminds the user that time is dynamic and offers a geometry that changes
according to time. Because of the immense respect of the Dragon in Chinese
society, it is this movement that the clock wants to prevail. One can read time
as well as observe a transformative sculpture rarely seen in any other time
pieces. With a combination of traditional Chinese ceramic
craftsmanship fuse with a dynamic clock face device, the Dragon Clock offers
possibly one of the most innovative time indication unit out there. One is also
purchasing an item that is inspired by several important traditional Chinese
symbols that can bring luck to the owner. Using the movement of a Dragon,
colors influence by The Forbidden City and structure inspired the Longevity
Tree, these are all important element in our culture which one will possess
with the Dragon Clock. The lower
supporting structure is handmade out of Chinese ceramics. This technique
requires traditional skill Chinese artisan to achieve which in turn can sustain
this industry from becoming obsolete from modernistic progression. The clock
hands are manufactured by contemporary laser cutting technique and by combining
these two elements, we create a fusion of old and new which is the essence of
the Dragon Clock.
