Based on railway engineer Hans Hilfiker’s 1940s classic, the Swiss Railway Station Clock is a standard throughout European train stations, with over 3,000 clocks keeping precision time.

The straightforward black and white face with a red second hand is easy to read from a distance. Made by Mondaine with a brushed steel case and German clock movement, the clock was included in the Museum’s Tempo exhibition. One AA battery is required (not included) for the 10″ clock. Two AA batteries are required for the 15.75″ clock, which can also be run using the included AC adapter.

Size: Small: 10″ diam.; Large: 15.75″ diam.

Have you ever had a product that you thought was so pretty that it belonged in a frame? How about a gorgeous flower bouquet or a vintage toy or a beautiful piece of electronics, maybe a snow globe – in any case, it’s pretty difficult to put a flower vase into a picture frame. But all that changes with today’s lovely Soupe:

Meet Pablo the object frame. It comes flat, you put in the screws, fold down the ‘shelf’ part of it and voila, you now have an object frame to show off whatever you deem appropriate to show off. Such a lovely idea!

We think Tristan Zimmermann has a clever head on those Canadian shoulders of his, particularly when it comes to his life-sized trophy head, lasersmithed of pure Swiss glacial acrylic. The cheeky grad of Ontario College of Art and Design invented the concept of Plastidermy under Science+Sons, the studio he launched in 2005.
