The
inspiration for this stylish wall 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 1 shows the first experimental
radio waves being transmitted across the Atlantic in 1901. The three
angled 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. We
also make the Marconi 1 as a mantle clock, which can be seen by
visiting the mantle clock pages on our web site. |
