The clock face for Electric Time Company, Inc., made for a crown prince in Saudi Arabia is finished. Electric Time asked liquidoranges to produce detailed artwork in glass for the dial, modeled after the Mecca Clock Tower. Glass dial is 53"ø (flat) and made from tempered PPG Starphire glass layers, laminated to produce a 3/8" thick dial designed to fit within the metal bezel manufactured by Electric Time. The hour indicators and metal rings were applied to the surface of the glass by Electric Time, using 3M VHB adhesive tape. Saflex UV PVB was used as a UV-A/UV-B filtration to preserve the artwork.

Art Glass for a Saudi Prince
We've been working hard on a version of the great Mecca Clock in Saudi Arabia, to be installed at the residence of a Saudi Prince. Using our architectural laminated art glass technology, we presented a pair of samples to our worldwide clock maker client last week. This glass clock face will be the ultimate test of our process, as the sun is very intense in Saudi Arabia, and the specified color temperature for the internal LED's is less than desirable. We prefer working with 5300K, as true daylight. Here's a snapshot of the sample when placed outside on our client's light box.
