The
inspiration for this stylish mantle clock comes from the Italian
pioneer of radio, Guglielmo Marconi. Marconi's work in the development
of wireless radio was quite literally a quantum leap in the field
of human communication, contributing greatly to the advancement
of the modern world. The design of our Marconi 2 shows the first
experimental radio waves being transmitting across the Atlantic
in 1901. The three curved lines in the middle of the clock symbolise
radio signals radiating outwards from the V shape transmitter into
space. By the 1920's wireless radio was regularly being broadcast
into millions of homes and providing entertainment in a completely
new way. |
