The 'Salvador Clock' is a contemporary home decor product that pays homage to the namesake surrealist artist and provides an aesthetically pleasing way to keep time. The clock is characterized by its elongated design that allows for placement onto a bookshelf or other flat surface for hanging. This gives the appearance of a melting clock as a nod to the iconic Dali painting The Persistence of Memory.
The 'Salvador Clock' is crafted using a bent sheet of metal to give it rigidity and also accommodate being hung on a solid surface. The clock is designed into variations including one in black with gold hands and another in brushed metal with black hands. The clock is the winner of the A’ Design Award for 2022.
