It revisits the aesthetic of public clocks with a modern touch
It's hard to look at Newgate's Metro wall clock without thinking of the large post-war railway and subway clocks that quietly marked departures and arrivals. This is precisely the energy that Newgate has managed to capture and re-imagine: an object rich in references, yet resolved to live in the present.
A unique shape and contrasting colours for a striking visual presence
Its rectangular case with generously rounded edges is the first thing that catches the eye. This shape, halfway between a strict square and an oval, gives the clock an instantly recognizable character and a depth that gives it a very real presence on a wall. The matte-finished acrylic case, available in intense black or pumpkin orange depending on the version, radically changes the object's atmosphere: sober and graphic in its black version, expansive and pop in its coloured version.
Bold numerals and 60s-inspired details for clear and precise readability
The square dial, set within this horizontal case, creates a deliberate visual tension between the two geometries. The large, bold Arabic numerals feature a 60s-inspired typography, bordered by a discreet dotted line reminiscent of technical instrument dials from that era. The slender and sharp metal hands read the time with unambiguous precision. The whole is protected by a glass cover that completes its look as a well-crafted, almost collector's item.
A discreet quartz movement guaranteeing precision and everyday peace of mind
The silent quartz movement ensures uncompromising precision, without the tick-tock that disturbs concentration. In a perfectly quiet room, a slight mechanical hum may still be heard, but you'll have to strain your ears to hear it.
