The single clock hand will complete one revolution each day. The clock dial has 48 machined dimples positioned at half hour increments. The dimples perfectly fit 2.5mm magnetic spheres. Use these spheres to personalize your clock dial to mark significant moments in your day. Leave space open where there is less of a need to focus on time.</p> <img alt="" src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0003/9371/files/superlocal-profile_1024x1024.jpg?v=1655050135"> <p>We are creatures of habit, with circadian rhythms at our centers. Fostering a routine which correlates to this intrinsic cycle increases both mental and physical well-being. Superlocal is a timepiece focused on this idea.</p> <div style="text-align: center; padding: 80px !important; clear: both; font-size: 30px; background-color: white; color: black;">Superlocal offers a more personal relationship with timekeeping. One that’s less rigid and allows us to elevate moments that correspond to daily ritual.</div> <p><img alt="" src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0003/9371/files/superlocal-studio-wall_1024x1024.jpg?v=1655051095" data-mce-src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0003/9371/files/superlocal-studio-wall_1024x1024.jpg?v=1655051095"></p> <p>The approach is intentionally subtle and non-dogmatic. There are no numbers or alarms to trigger your senses, scold or shame you. (You can get those on your phone). Think of Superlocal instead as more of an offering, a supportive and gentle way to visualize and cultivate daily ritual.</p> <p> </p> <div> <div style="text-align: center; padding: 80px !important; clear: both; font-size: 30px; background-color: white; color: black;">Transform our relationship to time.</div> <div class="type-image-text"> <div><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0003/9371/files/superlocal-bedside_1024x1024.jpg?v=1655051156" alt="" data-mce-src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0003/9371/files/superlocal-bedside_1024x1024.jpg?v=1655051156"></div> <div> <div> <p>Start with sleep.</p> <p>It’s up to you to set Superlocal how you’d like, but we recommend starting with sleep.
