DESIGNED AND ENGINEERED FROM SCRATCH

No compromises.
Everything made in-house.

If the soul of this clock lives in the wood, its digital heart beats thanks to pure engineering. You won't find ready-made boards or off-the-shelf software inside.
I designed the entire hardware architecture from scratch, defining every single connection so the LED matrix and the control components talk to each other in the best way. In the same way, the software that brings the pixels to life was written line by line, optimised to deliver a fluid, responsive and intelligent experience.
From the first solder joint on the printed circuit board to the last firmware test, every step happens before my eyes and on my workbench. Creating technology means having total control over it: only this way can a digital object become a work of handcrafted art.

Proprietary Hardware. Designed from Scratch.
I designed and engineered the printed circuit board (PCB) from a blank sheet, to integrate perfectly into the wooden shell.
Native Code.
The internal software is written from scratch. Only pure optimisation to control every pixel.
Electronic Craftsmanship.
Every component is soldered and tested by hand by me. Technology returns to being a work of artisan precision.
