Creative elegance and charm in a cool sheen of rhodium
For the purists among clock aficionados there is our 100 days running table clock NT 1 “l’amour” in a rhodium-plated version called “la beauté”. Technically identical to the NT 1 “l’amour”, all visible brass parts of the clockwork are rhodium-plated with the exception of the wheels which are gilded. Rhodium is a naturally occurring rare precious metal from the platinum family and is therefore one of the most expensive precious metals of all.
The cool sheen of the rhodium will quite complement the deep flame-blue of the hands and the numerous screws of the movement. Mounted on four columns, it stands on a massive granite pedestal of the variety Nero Assoluto and exudes objective charm without sacrificing its design elegance.
Magical focus in rhodium
Because of its considerable size the table clock NT 1 “la beauté” needs a very prominent stand. If it gets this space, it is a magical eye-catcher. In its timeless classic exterior design aesthetics it fits perfectly every room and creates a distinctively elegant atmosphere.
