This clock seems to capture the low rumble heard in industrial zones at night. Copper wires stretched through the air resemble piping under intense heat. ICs and coils pulse silently, like the heart of a dormant furnace. Enjoy this “reactor core that burns time.” The clock is fully functional and can be set to the correct time.
The time is displayed on the orange 7-segment LED in the center. Behind it, the circuitry essential for the clock—including the microcontroller and real-time clock IC—is densely packed. Additionally, the time-setting buttons are located at the bottom right.
Jindai Zelkova is buried wood from Zelkova trees that remained buried in soil or water for hundreds to thousands of years without decaying, emerging into the modern era. Characterized by its unique greenish-gray or deep grayish-brown hues, this rare, ultra-premium timber captivates with its unmatched color palette and fine grain pattern. It is highly prized for table tops and crafts. We joined two pieces of this precious wood to create a large valley evoking ancient history. Within this valley, we incorporated the mysterious circuitry of a clock, reminiscent of dam construction.
The time is displayed on the orange 7-segment LED in the center. Behind it, the circuitry essential for the clock—including the microcontroller and real-time clock IC—is densely packed. Additionally, the time-setting buttons are located at the bottom right.
When the two split black persimmon wood pieces are brought together, the gap between them resembles a deep gorge born from the earth’s fissure. Sinking the clock’s circuitry—woven from aerial wiring—into that valley floor— A light flickers deep within the dark mine, and the lost mining city quietly breathes life once more. Please enjoy the “Time of the Mine” slumbering within the wood’s crevice. The watch can be used practically and can also be set to the correct time.
The time is displayed on the orange 7-segment LED in the center. Behind it, the circuitry essential for the clock—including the microcontroller that serves as its brain and the real-time clock IC—is densely packed. Additionally, the time-setting buttons are located at the bottom left.
A large knot hole gaping in the mahogany trunk resembled the entrance to a vast cavern stretching deep beneath the earth. As the clock’s circuitry, assembled from aerial wiring, was lowered into its darkness— Within the wood, streets of light quietly illuminated, revealing a city slumbering underground. Enjoy this “other time” breathing beneath the surface.
The material used was mahogany wood. At a lumberyard in Shinkiba-Tokyo, I found a piece of wood with large knots and holes. Its appearance resembled a vast cave opening in the red earth’s depths. I envisioned constructing a circuit here, like building a dam.
The time display uses a four-digit seven-segment LED in the center. Behind the LED lies the brain of the watch—a microcontroller, real-time clock IC, and other essential circuitry. Time-setting buttons are located below the LED.
The deep patterns of the black persimmon wood resemble the rugged terrain of Mars’s wilderness. When the clock’s circuitry, constructed with aerial wiring, is housed within it, the circuit activates as a “Mars base” and quietly begins to mark the passage of time. The clock is fully functional and can be set to the correct time.
・素材（Material）
素材には、黒柿の木を使用しました。
土のような黒い層と、砂漠のようなベージュの層で構成され、まさに火星の表面のような木材です。
The material used is black persimmon wood.
Composed of an earthy black layer and a desert-like beige layer, it is wood that truly resembles the surface of Mars.
The time display uses a four-digit seven-segment LED in the center. The left side houses the essential clock circuitry, including the microcontroller (the brain) and real-time clock IC. Additionally, the time-setting buttons are located at the top left.
