Artist introduces rhythmic clock inspired by nature for luxury wellness spaces

Designer Ben Rousseau says his ambition with Tempus is "to make our experience of time more beautiful."

An award winning light artist and designer has introduced his latest luxury timepiece, the Tempus Terra.

Ben, of Ben Rousseau Studios unveiled his new design at an exclusive watch showcase at the The Lansdowne Club last month.

“Days Of The Independents” was hosted by British luxury watch retailer The Limited Edition with 35 brands in attendance on September 19th.

The Limited Edition exists to showcase the unique talents and exceptional craftmanship of the independent watchmakers, to a growing community of Connoisseur collectors around the world.

To celebrate ten years of the Tempus range by Ben Rousseau Studios, Ben, unveiled his latest design at the show. The Tempus Terra is crafted with real wood and softly illuminated.

Sustainable Craftsmanship and Local British Manufacturing

Ben says: "My ambition is to transform the way society thinks about time in order to appreciate the importance and joy of living in the moment.

" Terra turns the passing of time into something warm, organic and quietly hypnotic.

"Sustainability is an important value and driver in my work. For Terra the wooden clock face and the aluminium chassis and frame were sourced from local suppliers and manufactured within a 100mile radius of my workshop.

"I wanted to bring together nature, light and technology to create a calming focal point for beautiful interiors. I designed this piece with luxury hotels, spas and wellbeing spaces in mind.

"Our mission at Tempus is to play a part in the evolution of timekeeping devices. We believe beautiful design has the power to redefine our experience of reality and by rethinking our relationship with time through design, we rekindle a love affair with the seemingly ordinary."

Designed and made in the UK, Ben's timepieces uniquely bring together elements of digital technology, luxury craftsmanship and kinetic art.

With a focus on local manufacturing and sustainable materials, TEMPUS products are designed to encourage us all to live life in the moment and appreciate our time more today than we did yesterday.
