Barry Gamble + Kirsch-Hamilton Aurora Classic II Clock
Note - This is an open box item. It has been tested and is fully working. Please look at the actual pictures before purchasing. The only thing that is wrong with clock is that one of the metal pieces that holds the back cover came loose. I\'ve tried gluing but it came loose again and have decided to leave as is. Also if you look at the 6th picture you\'ll notice a little dot which is on the inside film, it just needs to be cleaned. Other than that this clock is in perfect working condition.2020 Current Model.The celebrated and enigmatic color shifting clock that has been in production for almost 50 years. Handmade in USA
1970\'s Museum of Modern Art Aurora Clock with new lighting technology --- Aurora Classic II
The AURORA CLASSIC is an updated version of a beautiful clock from the 70s. The Aurora has been in production for over 50 years. Its classic contemporary design was honored by the Museum of Modern Art.What\'s so special?
A very contemporary case, beautiful colors, and --- a mystery! There are continuously changing colors and surprising color shifts as the secondhand disk overlaps the minute & hour hands. The clock will continues to play tricks on you too: As you walk around watching the clock, you\'ll notice the colors change depending on your viewing angle. Inside the clock, you\'ll see a round secondhand, working as a window to view more colors as it as it rotates. It turns out, the color changes have to do with polarized light and a phenomenon called bi-refractance. Vectors of light are being rotated as they pass through each material, very different from just color filtering.
The uniquely sculptured case is highly polished aluminum, cut out on a lathe and hand polished the same way they were in the 1970s. Additionally, the strong, metal-geared motor still comes from the same reliable company as it did originally. All paired together with the new LED lamp technology for cooler running, as well as a broader spectrum of more vibrant colors, you get the best in contemporary design --- a worthy continuation of the AURORA.
Other Updates/ Additions:Brightness Adjustment: There is now a brightness adjustment setting that has been added to clocks made after August 2003. This switch on the LED board allows an adjustment of the brightness to dim the clock in the bedroom or brighten for the office.
The variable spectrum LED lighting source: I thought the clock could be more interesting if it didn\'t go through the same colors every time the second hand disk was in the same place. I designed a new light source that would have a microprocessor slowly changing the brightness of red, blue, green and white light emitting diodes (LEDs). So red does not dominate yellow, the microprocessor occasionally, slowly, turns off the red LEDs. Similarly, the blue is occasionally turned off so you can see the green colors. A great improvement because the LEDs run much cooler which allows the motor and filters a longer life. Plus the LEDs have a 20+ year life (they do not burn out, but rather just get dimmer). Last, the LEDs produce both more saturated colors and more pastels. This totals up to the best in contemporary design and engineering. Enjoy the Aurora for a lifetime and then pass it down to your descendants.
