We\u2019ve gotten so used to looking at our phones or even our smartwatches to know what time it is that we forget how beautiful wall clocks can be. In fact, some younger people can\u2019t tell time anymore by looking at analog clocks as they\u2019re so used to digital clocks. So to see clock designs like the MOOV and COO clocks designed by Japanese designer Ryosuke Fukusada brings back those days when we appreciate things like cuckoo clocks and traditional craftsmanship while also bringing something more to the table, or rather, to the wall.<\/p>\n

These metal clocks display their moving parts and details through perforated and transparent windows, making these hidden mechanics visible and adding a certain beauty to these timepieces. The bodies of the clocks are made using the traditional metalworking processes in the Niigata region and it involves cutting, bending, welding, and painting. The perforated sheets are produced with punch tools that create clean and consistent holes, ensuring each piece meets exacting standards.<\/p>\n

Designer: Ryosuke Fukusada<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The MOOV Pendulum Clock uses a perforated design on its metal plate that shows the pendulum swinging through the holes. Just be careful that you don\u2019t get hypnotized as it can have a pretty mesmerizing effect when you stare at the pendulum long enough. There are no numbers but instead the time indicators are colored in places corresponding to their position. This may also be a good tool to teach kids how to actually tell time without the numbers. The genius of this design is how nothing feels placed by chance: the indicators sit exactly where the holes already exist, creating a harmonious visual system.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The COO Cuckoo Clock meanwhile is a metal clock that has a large circular opening where you\u2019ll see the cuckoo appear to indicate what hour it is. This mechanical bird spreads and flaps its wings and sings a melodic version of the classic cuckoo sound. The shape of the clock is actually inspired by the arched windows from ancient times. The front is made of perforated metal and like the MOOV, the indicators are also colored to match the holes. The mixture of industrial materials and antique elements gives it a certain warmth that makes it feel both contemporary and nostalgic at the same time.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Both the MOOV and COO clocks come in four colors: white, off-white, mint blue, and green. These \u201ccalm tones\u201d make it easy for the clocks to blend in with any interior. But there\u2019s also a pop of color with the accents on the hands and indicators. The perforated design actually makes them easier to hang since it makes them a bit more lightweight and also different from the usual heavy wooden cases that the usual pendulum and cuckoo clocks use.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

What makes these pieces particularly special for collectors is the regional craftsmanship story behind them. Fukusada, who established his studio in Kyoto in 2012 after working with renowned designer Patricia Urquiola in Milan, has a keen eye for bridging Japanese tradition with modern minimalism. His previous work, including the Relief clock, has won prestigious awards like the iF Design Award 2023, making his pieces increasingly sought after in the design world.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

These clocks aren\u2019t just functional objects. They\u2019re conversation starters that celebrate the beauty of visible mechanics. In a world where everything is becoming digital and hidden behind sleek screens, there\u2019s something deeply satisfying about watching a pendulum swing or a bird emerge to mark the hour. Whether you\u2019re decorating your first apartment or adding to a curated collection, the MOOV and COO clocks remind us that timekeeping can be an art form worth displaying proudly on our walls.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
