The Design
About Monza 탁상용 진자시계
몬차(Monza)는 스켈레톤 무브먼트가 그대로 드러나는 기계식 탁상 진자시계이다. 디자인은 1970년대의 형태와 모티프를 참조하여 라디에이터를 연상시키는 외관을 완성했다. 전통적인 시계에 사용되는 금속 플레이트 대신 스테인리스 스틸 부싱을 용접한 두 장의 강화 크리스털 글라스 디스크를 적용해 메커니즘 전체를 감상할 수 있다. 태엽 구동 무브먼트는 유성 기어와 데드비트 이스케이프먼트, 볼 베어링을 결합했으며 15일의 파워 리저브를 제공한다. 크롬 도금된 원목 케이스의 외부는 핸드 스티치 가죽으로, 내부는 알칸타라로 마감했다.

- Unique Properties
- The design of Monza finds its echo in the forms, motifs from the 70s which led to the creation of a radiator-like timekeeper. The remarkable feature of this clock compared to the classical ones is that the metal plates are substituted with 2 hardened crystal glass discs with welded stainless bushes on them. This technique gives a possibility to expose the beauty of the skeleton mechanism. Mould-breaking transgressive case shape has rejected all limits that traditional manufacturing usually faces
- Dimensions & Packaging
- Type: Mechanical spring-driven pendulum
Movement: Planetary gearing and Graham deadbeat escapement
Power reserve: 15 days

- Production Technology
- Designed, manufactured and assembled in MOM’s company workshop. The core element of Monza, the movement, sets on hardened crystal glass plates that together represent an integral union. All brass gears are hand mirror polished and afterwards Rhodium plated. It was decided to use stainless steel for the columns, arbors and pinions which later underwent hand mirror polishing. Instead of the classical rubies, Monza runs on the hermetically closed ball bearings which reduce the friction and guarantee better and smoother clockwork. By using the chromed solid wood for the case wings the timepiece significantly lost in weight. The wooden case is covered by hand-sewn red leather outside and black Alcantara inside in order to absorb the beat noise.
- Design Challenge
- Since its extreme curves and acute angles required new standards and techniques in order to obtain a complete, milled and finished case it turned out to be problematic to find a supplier who would not feel intimidated in front of such a task and whose services would not cost a fortune.
- Research
- The research target is to reinvent one of the traditional products par excellence in a modern way.
Our goal was to build a pendulum clock that integrates perfectly with the modern taste of furnishing spaces while maintaining the charm of traditional mechanical clocks. - Inspiration
- The inspiration came from the 70s, which meant living in a constant state of awe and wonder: the supersonic jets flew through air and space; a new kind of Italian supercars looked as if they could break the sound barrier. A period in which the aerodynamic principles were just beginning to put down roots in the field of automotive design. The boxy, carriage-like shapes of previous decades were blending into something more streamlined.
- Project Duration
- The project started in January 2020 and finished in January 2021 in the hinterland of Milan.
- Operation Flow
- Monza is a mechanical 15-day spring-driven pendulum skeleton clock with an epicyclical train.
