Vintage JEROME H SIMON’Design in Time & Light’ Modernist Light Projection Clock
Here is a recent estate find. This is a Rare Vintage 1980’s Jerome H. Simon “Design in Light and Time” Limited Edition Brass Modernist Light-Beam Projection Clock. The Original Clock was Created (And Patented) in 1981 By Jerome Simon. The Original is in The Museum Of Modern Art. This Was Produced in a Limited Edition Run in the 1980’s by the Beamo Corporation Cambridge Mass. This is One of the Rare Limited Clocks Produced!!! 164, and Has The Original Label on the Bottom, DESIGN IN TIME & LIGHT by JEROME H. SIMON #164 Beamo Corp. This Has a Unique Design. It Has a Brass Modernist Case. The Arched Brass and Glass Base Magnifies a Single Beam of Light, Periscoping it Through The Underside of the Central Acrylic Tube. The Motorized Mechanical Mirrors in the Back Refract the Light and Send Beams Onto the Round Frosted Glass Face. A Circular Light Beam on the Frosted Glass Dial Marks the Hour Hand, and a Thin Light Beam Marks the Minute Hand. The Seconds Hand is Also a Thin Beam of Light That Circles Around the Dial. I Have Included a Video to Show the Clock Working, with the Seconds Hand Light Beam Circling Around the Dial! There is a Switch in the Back to Control the Light, and a Knob in the Back to Move the Mirrors and Set The Time with the Illuminated Light Beam Hands, Absolutely Stunning!!! The Clock Motor is Very Quiet, and Any Noise Heard in the Video is My Pellet Stove, It’s Cold Here in New Hampshire!!! The Clock Measures approx. 14 1/2″ Tall x 11 1/2″ Wide x 8 Deep. This is a Rare Clock and will make a Stunning addition to your home. These are Impossible to Find!! Great Functional Art Piece with Great Investment Potential!!!
