Description
Jerome Simon "Design in Time and Light" light-beam projection Clock
Created (and patented) in 1981 by Jerome Simon, the extraordinary "Design in Time and Light" is a light-beam projection clock. The arched brass and glass base magnifies a single beam of light, periscoping it through the underside of the central acrylic tube. Motorized mirrors in the back refract the light and send beams onto the round frosted glass clock face: A large circular beam marks the hour and two thin beams mark the minute and second. A short tube behind the small mirrors houses the motor itself. A switch at the back of the base controls the light output.
The design, in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art, was produced in a limited edition by the Beamo Corporation of Cambridge, Massachusetts.
14"H x 11"W x 9"D
Condition: light, motor and mechanism seem functional when tested, no guarantee as to accuracy or future
