Isochronal 4 is designed as a highly refined, low-maintenance sculptural clock for private, commercial, and architectural interiors. A battery-driven winding system automatically rewinds the suspended glass weights every few minutes, while timekeeping is provided by a quartz mechanism, allowing the work to maintain its visual movement and presence with minimal attention.
The escapement used in Isochronal is a sculptural variation on the Grasshopper escapement, invented by British clockmaker John Harrison around 1722 and later used in several of his celebrated marine timekeepers. Already sculptural in character, the Grasshopper escapement has a distinctive geometry that lends itself naturally to reinterpretation.
The work has an unhurried, meditative presence in both the winding and pendulum motions. Its surfaces feature a combination of freehand and machine-applied perlage patterning, adding visual depth and a subtle sense of movement even when viewed at rest.
