The idea behind the 'Grandfather Clock Dildo' by designer Bastiaan Buijs was to create a luxury adult toy for women that they would want to put on display in their home.
This refined intimacy device is made from a hand blown glass vessel that exposes an arrangement of brass and metal mechanisms inside of the vibrator. A wind-up key at the ebony wood base of the device causes the internal mechanism to move back and forth, causing the tube to vibrate for four to five minutes at a time.
This luxury adult toy was specifically designed to be both luxurious and expensive to appeal to a high-end clientele. It also comes with a lifetime warranty. By creating this vibrator, Buijs states he hopes to end any stigma or shame associated with female self-pleasure.
