Preserved Botanical Timepiece with Natural Ball Moss
This round clock with ball moss integrates three-dimensional preserved plant material into a circular wooden casing. The textured dial consists entirely of genuine ball moss (cushion moss or pole moss), hand-assembled into tight, rounded formations. Contrasting minimalist hands extend outward from the center hub, featuring a matte black hour and minute hand paired with an accent red second hand for immediate legibility against the green foliage.
Because the botanical elements undergo an organic preservation process based on natural glycerin, the mounds retain their soft texture, cellular flexibility, and rich forest coloration for years. It requires zero watering, soil, or sunlight exposure. Each clock functions as an acoustic dampening wall accent and an accurate, wall-mounted timekeeper.
Technical Specifications and Handcrafted Frame Dimensions
Every wooden frame is cut, joined, and finished to protect the preserved moss interior. Due to variations in tree rings, grain patterns, and knots, each unit possesses minor variations in timber surface texture.

Silent Quartz Movement and Functional Features
Mechanical clicking noises disrupt quiet environments. This clock operates on a high-torque, silent sweep quartz movement that eliminates repetitive tick-tock sounds. You can place it in sound-sensitive areas without distraction.
- Zero maintenance: No misting, watering, trimming, or sunlight needed.
- Acoustic absorption: Dense moss mounds trap ambient sound waves and reduce room echo.
- Hardware integrated: Fitted with heavy-duty rear keyhole mounting hardware for flush wall installation.
- Battery efficient: A single standard AA battery powers the hands for 9 to 12 months.
Installation Guidelines and Indoor Placement
Position the moss clock on any standard indoor wall using a secure anchor and screw rated for the unit weight. Keep the timepiece indoors within a humidity range of 40% to 70%. Never spray water or moisture directly onto the preserved moss face, as liquid can rinse away the preservation salts and damage the internal quartz motor.
Avoid positioning the clock in direct outdoor sunlight or immediately over intense heat sources like baseboard heaters and operational radiators. Standard indoor ambient room lighting is sufficient to display the natural green variations across the spherical moss domes.
