A desk can be a calm place again when the clock on it asks for nothing. This folding desk clock is ten centimeters of time, a slim metal form folded once so it stands alone, with only the hours twelve, three, six and nine on its face.

There are no buttons to press and no screen to glance at; its movement makes no sound, so your desk keeps its quiet, and the whole thing takes up less room than a card folded in half.

Forms from one flat piece of metal, no assembly
Only four numerals on the face
Silent movement keeps your workspace hushed
Stands by itself in a tiny footprint

It gives you the time and returns the attention your phone used to take.

Overview

One sheet, bent once, that stands by itself. Tempo™ is 10 cm of clock and nothing more: no buttons around the face, no numerals other than 12, 3, 6 and 9, and no glowing screen ready to show you the news at midnight. The movement is silent, so a quiet room stays that way. Put it on a nightstand, a shelf or the corner of a desk. It takes up the footprint of a folded card and gives you the one thing you wanted from your phone.

Care

Dust the acrylic with a dry microfibre cloth. Acrylic scratches more easily than glass, so do not use paper towels or abrasives. Keep it out of hot, direct sun. Take the battery out for long storage.

Materials

A moulded acrylic body in one bent A-frame shape, with a minimal printed dial and slim metal hands. Silent quartz movement. Battery powered; battery not included. Size: approx. 10 × 7 cm (3.94 × 2.76 in); weight approx. 120 g.

Cream Fold™ clock on an oak nightstand beside a clay cup and linen bed

Smaller than your cup

At ten centimetres wide, it leaves the nightstand free for the lamp and the book. It is small enough to go unnoticed and clear enough that you never have to search for it.

Hand setting the cream Fold™ clock on a desk beside an open notebook

Sets down anywhere

A desk corner, a kitchen shelf, next to the notebook: with no cable and no need to clear a space, it goes wherever you want the time.

Why Fold

A palm-sized acrylic clock bent from a single piece, silent, in cream or charcoal: a small reason to leave your phone in another room.

Tiny, and that's exactly right

I have about four inches of nightstand left after the lamp and this fits with room to spare. The cream matches my linen almost exactly.

The charcoal one lives on my desk

Bought it to stop checking the clock on my laptop and breaking focus. Sounds small. It genuinely helped. No tick either, which I was worried about.

Looks like a design-shop piece

The single bent shape is the whole design and it works — no fussy stand, no branding shouting at you. Bought a second as a housewarming gift.

Frequently asked questions

Exactly how small is it?

About 10 cm wide and 7 cm tall (3.94 × 2.76 in). That is smaller than a coffee mug, with roughly the footprint of a folded postcard. It is minimal on purpose.

Does it tick?

No. It has a silent quartz movement, so there is no ticking to hear in a quiet bedroom or at a desk where you are concentrating.

Does it need its own stand?

No. The body is bent from a single piece into an A-frame, so the back of the clock serves as its leg. There is nothing to attach and nothing to lose.

What powers it?

A battery, which is not included. It has no cable and needs no charging, so it can stand anywhere, including places far from an outlet.

Cream or charcoal?

Cream blends into linen, oak and pale plaster. Charcoal stands out as a small graphic mark on a light desk. Cream has black hands and markers; charcoal reverses them to cream.

Can the dial be read easily?

Yes. It prints only 12, 3, 6 and 9, with short dashes between them. That sounds sparse, but it reads faster than a crowded face because your eye goes to the hands and not the numbers.
