Description from the seller

Clock Color: Blue
clock's hand: Red
Total clock height: 36 cm / 21 cm
Total clock hand: 5 cm x 3 cm
Diameter ; 12.5cm
Material : PLA
3d printed
By order: one month delivery time

Don't waste time, it is a metaphor for the passage of time, which is ending, to act on climate change.

Its biodegradable material and the needles that mark an approximate time force us to act on the planet. IT IS A WAKE-UP CALL !

The material of the clocks is PLA, a biomaterial of vegetable origin derived from potato, corn, cassava (depending on the supplier) this material is 100% biodegradable.

Specifically, PLA is a thermoplastic polymer that is produced by fermentation of a carbohydrate source such as corn, potato or cassava starch. In this case, the natural product is ground to separate the starch from the corn, mixing it with acid or lactic monomers. With this mixture, the starch is broken down into dextrose (D-glucose) or corn sugar. Finally, glucose fermentation produces L-lactic acid, the building block of PLA. This material is considered a non-Newtonian pseudoplastic fluid, meaning that its viscosity (resistance to flow) will change depending on the stress to which it is subjected. Specifically, PLA is a thin shear material, which means that the viscosity decreases with applied stress.

Some of the colors of the materials used to make these watches are custom made
