A Huygens clock is a complete silent one. Whereas with most clocks you will hear the day ticking away, our Huygens clocks have an innovative movement that ensures complete silence in any room. Using incredibly good material combined with the best movements you get a clock that – we dare to say – honors the work of our great-great-ancestor Huygens.
Christiaan Huygens can be considered as the father of all clocks. In 1656 he invented the pendulum, a swinging weight, as a timekeeping element for clocks. A pendulum clock quickly became a representation of the most precise time and had a widespread use.
Huygens was considered a leading scientist of his time, in which he was always looking for the best and next inventions.
It was his train of thought that functioned as an example for our Huygens clocks. Our clocks – of course – have incredible accuracy, and we wanted to take Huygens as an inspiration to take our clocks a step further.
All Huygens clocks are tested to meet our high quality standards and equipped with a silent movement. Your clock is designed in the Netherlands and made from recyclable quality materials. To make sure your Huygens clock is unique and authentic, all our clocks are registered designs.
