Drawing inspiration from Christiaan Huygens, known as the father of timekeeping because of his discovery of the pendulum as a timekeeping device, Huygens Amsterdam crafts silent, superbly accurate clocks. By using a quartz movement as the inner working of each timepiece Huygens has shown a mastery of clock design extending far beyond the outer framework. Each One45 Wall Clock is wrapped in stainless steel, constructed of recyclable materials, and features either traditional Index or Arabic numerals.
