The new design of this modern clock is produced to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the founding of De Stijl and its lasting influence.It uses the colorful abstract composition, Aluminum hands and a quartz movement to create this modern masterpiece. De Stijl was a circle of Dutch abstract artists who promoted a style of art based on a strict geometry of horizontals and verticals. Originally a publication, De Stijl was founded in 1917 by two pioneers of abstract art, Piet Mondrian and Theo van Doesburg. De Stijl means style in Dutch. The magazine De Stijl became a vehicle for Mondrian’s ideas on art, and in a series of articles in the first year’s issues he defined his aims and used, perhaps for the first time, the term neo-plasticism. This became the name for the type of abstract art he and the De Stijl circle practiced. De Stijl had a profound influence on the development both of abstract art and modern architecture and design.
