Contemporary Clocks from British Designer Charlie Turner

Contemporary Clocks from British Designer Charlie Turner  The studio and workshop of British clock designer Charlie Turner, is located a few miles from the coast on the Cornish Moors.

Long-case or grandfather clocks usually conjure up images of large and impressive pieces of furniture made from dark woods, like those seen in many grand country houses or old school libraries.

However, Charlie Turner designer, sculpture, artist and horologist is breaking the mould when it comes to clock design. Each of his unique and eye-catching clocks is designed and made by hand in Cornwall.

His exciting new approach to furniture design has led to the launch of his own collection of contemporary grandfather clocks:

  • Made from natural timbers and designed to reflect minimal and contemporary lifestyles, his designs are thoroughly modern.
  • Although Charlie’s sculptural clocks appear simplistic in style, the quality of the technology incorporated within the designs is every bit as intricate and precise as classic timepieces.
  • Featured here is the Helix Contemporary Clock – this ultra modern design is his latest creation. Priced at: £4550.00.

Charlie Turner explains “I get inspiration from all around me, the sea, the coast, the Cornish landscape. I am always on the lookout for materials, colours and shapes that would never be associated with clocks, from the rocks, driftwood and the amazing range of colours in the sea”.

The process of creating a new contemporary clock design is a long and meticulous process and Charlie has spent several years perfecting his collection prior to its launch.

This month Charlie Turner will be presenting his collection of contemporary clocks with the launch of his own brand ‘Charlie Turner Designs’.

A new website showcasing the 2011 Collection of Charlie Turner Designs will be launched soon.
