Rare Jerome Simon Clock "Design In Time And Light" Light-Beam Projection Clock Note: Original Example In MOMA Collection
Created (and patented) in 1981 by Jerome Simon, the extraordinary "Design in Time and Light" is a light-beam projection clock. The arched chrome and glass base magnifies a single beam of light, periscoping it through the underside of the central acrylic tube. Motorized moving mirrors in the back reflect the light and project different-shaped beams onto the round frosted glass clock face: A larger circular beam marks the hour, and two thin beams mark the minute and second. A short chrome tube behind the small mirrors houses the motor/gears. A switch at the back of the base controls the light output. The Beamo Corporation of Cambridge, Massachusetts, produced a limited edition of the design in the Museum of Modern Art collection.
Size:Â 14"H x 11"W x 9"D
