The dynamic Time Machine TM4 by SCHLUMPF creates a dramatic portal into the universe of time by virtue of its size. Measuring approximately 2.1 x 2.2 meters (6.9 x 7.2 feet), the bold, black filigree frame houses onyx black and golden anodized gears contrasting with a mirror – polished golden pendulum disk and hands. A striking component is the large 1.8 – meter (5.9 foot) orbital drive. An anchor beam rotating around the central anchor wheel provides constant movement.

Although the isochronal sounds of the clock are alluring, the escapement uses spring – like anchor pallets, which produce smooth, virtually silent, transitions. These models feature hands indicating seconds, minutes, hours, and day of week.

Sit back, watch the mesmerizing movement,
listen to the sound of the pendulum,
and contemplate the passing of time.

Each kinetic sculpture provides an opportunity to perceive time by more than just marking the passage of hours, minutes, and seconds.

A patient observer can digest unhurried intervals of time by focusing on the sound and motion of the animated clocks. If you dare, opt for the purest expression of this concept: a Time Machine with no time indication at all. Instead relax to the endless ticks and tocks of time passing.
