A Design Product Supervised by Takenobu Igarashi in His Final Years
— The “earth wall clock”: A Design Revived Beyond Time —


In 1987, world-renowned designer Takenobu Igarashi unveiled the “ball clock” under the OUN brand. In this design, he transformed the clock from a mere timekeeping tool into a sculptural object that could enrich everyday spaces.
Decades later, in 2019, the design was reimagined as the “earth clock,” a reconstruction based on his original work. With its hands evoking the rotation of the Earth, the earth clock quickly gained recognition as a modern masterpiece.

Now, in 2025, the earth clock evolves once more—this time as a wall clock.

The “earth wall clock” stands as the very last product supervised by Takenobu Igarashi during his lifetime.
It embodies his aesthetic sensibility and design philosophy, crystallized into a creation that truly “lives on beyond time.”

The lineup features two frame variations: “earth wall clock (black)” and “earth wall clock less (white)”.
Blending seamlessly into interiors while radiating a strong presence, this clock offers a new way for design enthusiasts around the world to experience time.
