Floating Clock

The Gravity-Defying Floating Clock (often referred to as the Universe Time Timepiece by Gravity Player or the STORY Clock by Flyte) is a piece of kinetic sci-fi art that reimagines timekeeping through magnetic levitation. These futuristic desk clocks feature a hovering chrome sphere or pointer that levitates midair, orbiting a base to indicate the hours, minutes, and seconds. Key Features & Technology

Magnetic Levitation: The clocks use a proprietary control system with adjustable electromagnets and sensors. This allows the floating sphere to resist gravity and hover roughly away from the base.

360°/720° Free-Floating Technology: Some of the most advanced models (like the Universe Time model showcased at CES) feature proprietary technology that suspends a pointer at an angle midair without fixed vertical supports, giving the illusion that the time is orbiting like a planet in deep space.

Planetary & Multiverse Time: Many of these clocks are app-enabled, allowing you to sync with cosmic pulses beyond Earth. You can set the clock to display the time zones of different planets in the solar system (like Mars time).

Customizable Displays: The time can be displayed in multiple modes, such as tracing hours, minutes, or even a second hand where the sphere completes an orbit every 60 seconds. The devices often feature customizable LED backlighting and journey modes to track important life events.

Pricing & Availability: While earlier models like the Flyte STORY retailed between

, newer next-generation devices are currently emerging through crowdfunding platforms like Kickstarter and tech showcases like CES.
