Eittem Singularity
Couldn't load pickup availability
Singularity, a six-watch timepiece case, draws its shape from one of the most enigmatic phenomena in physics: the black hole, where gravity becomes so powerful that space and time are profoundly altered. The broad upper plane takes its cue from the event horizon, sweeping inward toward an off-center point of gravitational pull.
When cast upon the sculpted lid, a stainless-steel ball creates an experiential pause for the collector. As the ball is released, it circles the surface and is drawn down into the recess. Within, six timepieces are held in measured succession, instruments created to define time, sheltered within an object inspired by the point at which time itself escapes conventional measure.
Carved from salvaged Eastern Black Walnut, the material's solidity, grain, and permanence sit against the sense of quiet motion across its contours, holding mass and fluidity, order and uncertainty, in the same object.
