Hey everyone! I'm a Director with Iontank, and we've decided to take years of experience in making custom interactive sculptures and apply them to our first product. Every Clock we make is fabricated and assembled by us in our studio in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. We've spent countless (too many) hours prototyping and playing with different materials, animations, processes, and electronics configurations to arrive at something we're truly proud of. The Clock plays subtle background animations throughout the hour with a more pronounced flourish at the top of each hour. Nearly any custom finish you can imagine is available by request, and we cater our animation packages to suit the material they're mated with. Thanks for your time and attention, and please let me know if you have any questions!

@robjdlc Love it! Is there any way to order it directly? Can we also know about the price range? I can see that it is required to send an email for order enquiries.

@adityavsc Thanks! Since each clock is built-to-suit there isn't really an "add to cart" sort of option yet. While that sort of easy configuration is something we're considering for the future - for now we need to work with every customer to cater the build to their specific needs. For the moment, one of our most economic configurations would come in around $25k. We can make these out of nearly any material we can get our hands on, so the high end depends entirely on what finishes are selected. Unobtanium is not off the table :)

Amazing work! It looks absolutely stunning! It would look lovely anywhere. I once tried to make a similar thing some time ago as a project. It was extremely difficult. Getting the LED lights to properly light up at the right time was a real pain. I had a lot of trouble getting the right equipment for the project. I especially had a problem with the drivers. Because I was using the wrong led driver for my LED lights I broke a couple of lights. I actually did not finish this project because of the multitude of issues. Thankfully, my professors were fine with my report on this unfinished project.

To choose such a watch, it is important to consider several nuances. It is best to choose lightweight designs. If you bought a heavy wall clock, fixing it to the drywall is not recommended. When choosing electronic models, it is important to pay attention to the material of the dial. If you buy a digital model with your hands, paying attention to its course is important. It can be smooth or discrete like this watch vont.com. Discrete hands move in leaps and bounds. Often, the movement of the hands is accompanied by a characteristic sound. However, it can be easily disabled in electronic models in the settings. It is better to choose models for home with a bright and large dial!
