Solstice

Lean into the spirit of the season and share this unique way to express time. This abstract expression of time by Matthew Gilbert makes the invisible visible. Like a blooming flower, the clock gradually changes shape throughout the day, displaying time unexpectedly and entertainingly.

Chronomeans Dunyazad

File this one under the most unique gift. In place of the traditional use of hands and numbers, Dunyazad's mechanical marvel takes a fresh approach to tell time using rolling balls and gravity. Once you get the hang of reading the time, sit back and enjoy the action and dig into the technical prowess of the machine.

ORB

For the extraordinary person in your life or perhaps a little self-indulgence, the ORB is sure to bring 'Ohs' and 'Ahs'. True to their signature styles, MB&F x L'Epée 1839 have created a state of the art clock transforming from a polished black or a white sphere to an array of combinations. Each time an elytron opens, the creations morphs while slowly revealing the sonorous hour-striking movement featuring an eight-day power reserve.
