Welcome to my collections, to a place of light and space where it is good to live, write, look, dream and search. Clocks, pendulum clocks and pendulum clocks personalise refined living spaces. Now museum pieces, these 20th century accessories bring a charm of life to our daily interiors.
Beauty is timeless. Authenticity is essential and reassuring. Quality in all its forms is priceless.

Sublime realization weighing nearly 3 kilos. At first sight a paperweight, but by tilting the central edge we discover an elegant clock with sober lines in the pure design of the time. A timeless object.
