Magis clock Tempo

The Tempo wall clock, designed by renowned designer Naoto Fukasawa for Magis, is a perfect synthesis of formal minimalism and poetic visual immediacy. True to Fukasawa's design philosophy, focused on objects capable of integrating naturally and discreetly into the gestures of everyday life, Tempo eliminates all superfluous elements to concentrate on the purity of form. Printed entirely in ABS, this wall clock presents itself as a single piece with soft, rounded lines, where the three-dimensional frame, hour markers, and hands seem to emerge from a single geometric mold. With its balanced diameter of 30 cm and a thickness of just 4 cm, Tempo furnishes offices, kitchens, living areas, and residential or commercial interiors with a contemporary feel with elegant delicacy.

Product Highlights and "Worry-Free" Philosophy

The Tempo clock expresses Naoto Fukasawa's extraordinary aesthetic sensibility through thoughtful details:

• ABS Monolith: The use of molded ABS ensures the object's extraordinary lightness, simplifying wall mounting, and ensures a smooth, durable, and easy-to-dust surface.
• Three-Dimensional Depth: The compact thickness of just 4 cm allows the clock to elegantly adhere to the wall, creating a delicate perimeter shadow that enhances its rounded silhouette.
• A Timeless Icon: Unconstrained by current trends, the dial devoid of numbers but punctuated by discreet raised notches embodies the concept of "timelessness" (Tempo), transforming a functional object into a silent piece of graphic art.

Product Maintenance and Care

ABS is a robust engineering plastic that requires extremely simple care to maintain its vibrant colors and matte finish:

• Routine Cleaning: We recommend using a soft, dry cloth (preferably microfiber) to remove dust deposits. If necessary, you can use a cloth slightly dampened with water.
• Products to Avoid: Never use abrasive sponges or scouring pads, as they could scratch the smooth surface of ABS. Avoid using pure alcohol, chemical solvents, ammonia, or harsh degreasers, which may damage or discolor the material.

FAQ

What type of battery does the Tempo clock require, and how do I replace it?
The clock runs on a standard alkaline battery (not included). Replacing it is very easy by accessing the compartment on the back of the dial, where the wheel for manually adjusting the time is also located.

Is the Tempo wall clock silent? Is it suitable for a bedroom?
Yes. The built-in quartz movement is extremely quiet and free of the loud, annoying ticking typical of older mechanical clocks. It can therefore be easily placed in a bedroom, study, or meeting room where maximum silence is required.

How do I hang the clock on the wall?
On the back of the ABS body, there is a built-in hanging hole. Thanks to the lightweight technopolymer,The clock can be hung safely using a simple nail or a standard hook anchor depending on the type of wall (masonry or plasterboard).
