Petrified Wood Clocks – Witnesses to Earth's History

What are mere minutes in the face of millions of years? This is the question posed by each of our petrified wood clocks—while simultaneously offering a calming answer. More than just a timepiece, each clock is a true witness to time, bringing eternity into the present moment and reminding us of the true meaning of permanence.

For these exclusive timepieces, we use carefully selected, polished slices of fossilized Araucaria wood. Over the course of millennia, the organic structure of the wood was replaced, cell by cell, with mineral quartz. This process has perfectly preserved the fine grain and growth rings of the prehistoric tree. The result is a fascinating, agate-like pattern in warm earth, red, and brown tones. Each clock face is thus an absolute one-of-a-kind, painted by nature itself.

A Journey into Primeval Times

The tree from which your clock was crafted grew around 60 million years ago—in an epoch when the continents were taking their present form and the age of mammals began. And yet, this distant past is closer than one might think: Araucaria trees still exist today, living fossils from another world. In our clocks, the unimaginable history of this wood merges with the precision of a modern movement. This creates an object that not only tells time but places it in a grander context—a daily invitation to slow down and marvel at the wonders of our Earth.
