Vase Clock

The Sevres Vase Clock is a new type of timepiece that tells the hour by tapping
on the surface of a vase to produce sound. An adjustable hammer mechanism
allows a variety of vases to be used, thereby permitting a range of chimes to
be generated.
This piece was inspired by porcelain´s three main qualities: transparency,
whiteness, and its pure ring. The clock reminds the user of the passage of time
not only through its chime, but also through the gradual fractures and eventual
shatter that it inflicts.
