Table clock Hippocampus (Seahorse), Miki Eleta, 2019, Nr. 27

The table clock is a redesign of the “Hippocampus” clock from 2012. For practical reasons, I changed the complex mechanics of the wall clock and converted it into a table clock.

This clock is characterized by the filigree shape of the Eleta Chronometer escapement, reminiscent of a seahorse. It displays the time via two retrograde indicators. The left one shows the minutes, the right one the hours.

Two sand blasted moons on transparent glass above a slice of blue glass indicate the moon phase (to be corrected after 128 years).

Behind the pendulum rod, a round golden disc with three hands refers to three areas of our existence: the space that we can perceive with our senses, the area of our knowledge and belief, and the unknown.
