Nixie Powered Urwerk SpaceTime Blade Table Clock
Imagine owning a piece of timekeeping that’s not just a clock, but a conversation starter, a piece of art, and a nod to the vastness of our universe. The Urwerk SpaceTime Blade is exactly that. Initially crafted for the 2023 Only Watch charity auction, this marvel, now released in a limited edition of 33 pieces, captures the essence of time and space in a way that’s simply breathtaking. How often do you come across a clock that not only tells time but also connects you to the cosmic journey of Earth through the galaxy"
Drawing inspiration from the iconic lightsaber of Star Wars, the SpaceTime Blade by Urwerk transcends traditional horology. It’s a luminescent beacon in your living space, powered by glowing orange Nixie bulbs. These aren’t just any bulbs; they’re a bridge to the past, crafted with meticulous care, capable of displaying the time it takes for Earth to travel around the Sun, among other cosmic measurements.
The genius behind Urwerk, Felix Baumgartner, looked to a 19th-century masterpiece by Gustave Sandoz for inspiration. This historical clock, which could calculate the distance travelled by a person on the Equator due to Earth’s rotation, sparked the idea for the SpaceTime Blade. It’s a reminder that we’re all passengers on this spaceship Earth, hurtling through space at incredible speeds. Doesn’t that put the hustle and bustle of daily life into perspective"
