I picked up this beautiful table clock, thanks to a tip by @mayamariang at @emmausdenhaag 
 Unfortunately the movement is missing but the intricate moon phase dial still makes it a special piece.
 The nameplate suggests it was made by Alexander Cumming, a Scottish inventor and clockmaker based in London during the late 18th and early 19th century. Next to his innovative clocks he revolutionised the development of the modern toilet and built barrel organs. I strive for a similar multifaceted approach to making. If you’re curious to see what I’m currently exploring come by our open studio @krameri.kramerei during @bermuda.open We’ll be there from 11:00 — 18:00 on both Saturday and Sunday. Come for a chat, a coffee or just a quick peak:)

 📍Helena van Doeverenplantsoen 3 Hope to see you there💚

𝘾𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙄 𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙏𝙞𝙢𝙚? 2025 📸 by the lovely @aaryansinha A closer look at the balance-wheel pendulum. One of the Time-telling devices of my graduation installation. Made from a bicycle wheel, it relies on small pushes from an AC-motor-driven arm to keep moving. By embracing the friction it creates a continuous irregular rhythm. @royalacademyofart.thehague @artscience.interfaculty

𝘾𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙄 𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙏𝙞𝙢𝙚? 2025 📸 by the lovely @aaryansinha A closer look at the balance-wheel pendulum. One of the Time-telling devices of my graduation installation. Inspired by the usually precise timekeeping mechanisms. The combination of a balance wheel and a pendulum act in a much less predictable way, creating calm but irregular rhythm. @royalacademyofart.thehague @artscience.interfaculty
