Made for desks. Built for hours.
Meridian
A single hand, a single job. Meridian 01 counts the hour you agreed to work and then stops, which is more than most software manages.
Machined by a shop
of four people,
one town, one lathe.
The world’s most unnecessarily considered desk dial.

Isn’t just
a timer.
It is 340 grams of brass with one moving part, so the only thing that can fail is your resolve to put the phone down.
* Solid brass, one piece
01 / Movement
Sixty minutes, then silence
A Swiss escapement wound by the same turn that sets it. No battery, no firmware, no update that changes what it does.
02 / Body
Turned from one billet
The case, the rim and the hub leave the lathe as a single piece. There is no seam because there is no join.
03 / Base
Cork, for the desk's sake
A 3 mm cork foot, pressed rather than glued, so a heavy object can be set down hard without marking oak.

Drawn to the same tolerances the shop works to. The cork line is dashed because it is compressed on assembly and the finished height lands 0.4 mm under this.
An object you
wind, not one
you charge.
Everything on this desk asks for attention. This one asks for a quarter turn in the morning and gives the rest of the day back.
