LE MANS Wall clock
2025
Limited edition for “24 hours”
exhibition curated by Jamie Wolfond
I’ve always been fascinated by train-station clocks with seconds hands that move continuously, symbolizing the relentless passage of time.
The Le Mans wall clock captures this continuous movement, but, unlike other clocks, the rotation here seems not to occur on an axis. Instead it moves around an internal ring, and the hands, like satellites, rotate at their own rhythm, never revealing their center of rotation. This transforms the dial into a track, a circuit where time itself becomes a race.
The numbers on the lower half of the clock are oriented to ensure the time remains clear despite the hands’ unusual rotation. The clock shifts continuously yet never loses its clear purpose.
