A friendly reminder that clocks are turning back one hour tonight at 2 am—whether your clock was made in the mid-1900s or is a rectangle that fits in your pocket. 🕰️📱

The clock shown here was designed by Kem Weber and produced by Lawson Time Incorporated. The horizontal striated lines of alternating black and brass stripes and rounded edges create a streamlined appearance that was typical of Weber’s work in the mid-century.

See this rectangular brass clock from our permanent collection as part of an activation on the fourth floor featuring mid-century decorative arts and design in the Design: 1880 to Now galleries.

In this piece on Weber and friends' Whitley Heights enclave there is a coincidental factoid which further illustrates the close interactions of the Weber-Schindler circles. A few years after Weber completed his enclave and had Jock Peters assist him at Barker Brothers in 1927, Peters designed a house for his and Schindler's joint Park Moderne client William Lingenbrink at 2000 Grace Avenue around the corner and a block away from Weber's three houses. Lingenbrink was a developer with a fascination for modern architecture evidenced by two books he published in 1930.
