A time piece ready to change the future of how we view time.
Without numbers or hands, Tempus beautifully presents the time across 12 hours in real time, using a building pattern of light. A signature set of perimeters using 132 channels of illuminating segments over three hypnotic, uniform arrangements. 12 segments for the hours, 60 segments for the minutes and 60 segments for the seconds. Al housed in a luxurious frame for wall mounted or stand mounted configurations.
Appreciate time in a new light.
