The Clock by Jonathan Dorthe is the best of two worlds. On one hand, it is a practical clock that tells the time. On the other hand, it is a piece of decor that adds a scenic touch to homes. In fact, some people may see only one of these two functions at first glance. It wouldn't be surprising if most assumed it was an artwork first and foremost.
Created for Atelier-D, the Clock by Jonathan Dorthe features stunning black and white images of Montreal city in Canada. They are silkscreened with a silver metallic pigment and have either a background in black for night images or white for daylight. The first two clocks are the beginning of a series of 12.
