The colors are bright especially in clocks for the kitchen or the bathroom and also the models, in this case, may have irregular shapes and bizarre lines. Purely classics kinds of clocks, such as the pendulum clock and the cuckoo, are then very often revisited and achieved in a modern twist.

Same goes for glass, which gives originality and refinement to clocks even more current, while among the most widely used materials for watches with a contemporary design and a metropolitan character, we mostly find plastic and metal.

A total twist in the concept of the wall clock so far developed is without a doubt ChronArte, which uses an innovative system for measuring time by replacing the hands with tissues and fluids, turning the wall clocks in real kinetic- programmed works of art.

In ChronArte Quadro, the classic round quadrant with hands in perpetual circular movement is totally revolutionized, the shape is square and time indicators give way to thin strips of fabric that color a white box with every passing minute.

In line with the concept implemented in Quadro, Canna uses as an indicator of a colored liquid flowing within 12 tubes.

Hour after hour the tubes are totally filled up. Then emptied out and the cycle starts again from the beginning.

Last idea by ChronArte is Filo, a wall clock evolution of the concept that led to the creation of Canna.

It consists of two long columns that look like giant thermometers capable of displaying both the time and the date.

If the purpose of the production of these original objects is a time measurement without equal through a simple and sophisticated at the same time style, the perfect combination of basic materials such as tissues and fluids used, mixed engineering that hides the operation, it reaches the proposed goal.
