Riki Numbers Clock
$180.00
Description:
Winner of the Good Design Award in 2004, the twelve figure "Numbers Clock" is designed by the pioneer of modern Japanese design, Riki Watanabe. Available in two sizes, the clear and large numbers on the clock's face, combined with the slender and distinct lines around the perimeter, make it easy to tell the time and appears gentle on the eye. The minimalist plywood frame with its simple and modern face allows this clock to fit into many different interiors as a 'timeless' timepiece for your wall. The Numbers Clock also features a sweeping second hand with no ticking sound.
Variation:
The clock's plywood frame is made from a natural material so there will be variation in the grain.
History:

Today, Riki is known for many of his award winning designs including furniture, tableware, clocks and even designed the interior of hotels. His series of wall clocks and desk clocks are some of the most frequently reproduced in the world today.
