Time That Speaks: The Story Behind atelierDSGN’s Clocks
Time moves forward, but the way we experience it can be uniquely personal. At atelierDSGN, every clock is more than just a timekeeper – it’s a functional piece of art that brings clarity, character, and calm to any space.
My name is Jaroslav Jerhot, and my journey with clocks began at the intersection of logic and aesthetics. I studied mathematics and interior design – two disciplines that might seem worlds apart, yet both demand precision, creativity, and deep attention to detail. After years of working with space and structure, I was drawn to the idea of designing everyday objects that would not only serve a purpose but also bring quiet joy to people’s lives. That’s how the first atelierDSGN clock came to life.
A Rough Beginning – and a Lasting Vision
Starting out wasn’t easy. Designing, prototyping, sourcing materials – everything took longer and cost more than I had imagined. But I believed in the idea: that a clock can be useful, beautiful, and timeless – in both senses of the word.
I’ve always been driven by a love of creating things that last. Not just in terms of materials, but in emotional value – items that people will take with them from one home to the next, from one chapter of life to another.
And today, nothing makes me prouder than knowing my clocks are hanging in living rooms, offices, kitchens, studios – even reception areas – all over the world.
A Collection Built on Character and Concept
Each atelierDSGN clock is handmade in small batches, using high-quality steel and a silent quartz movement. But what truly sets them apart is their concept:
- Best-Selling Clocks – minimalist, striking, and versatile enough for any space.
- Large Designer Wall Clocks – functional art pieces with bold presence.
- Medium-Sized Wall Clocks – balanced size and clean aesthetics.
- Clocks with City Names – a cosmopolitan touch with meaning.
- Inverted Wall Clocks – playful, creative, and full of character.
Each piece is more than a product – it’s an idea realised through form, movement, and craft. They’re designed to be hung like artwork, to spark conversations, and to blend function with poetry.
Looking Forward
Whether you’re looking for a centrepiece for your home or a meaningful gift, I hope you find a clock that resonates with you. I’m deeply grateful to everyone who has supported this journey – and I’m always excited to create new designs that will bring joy and function for many years to come.
