For over half a century, Solari split-flap clocks have transformed the measurement of time into a unique and unmistakable visual gesture. Behind every movement of the flaps, the same manufacturing culture that made the Solari system renowned around the world still lives on today: a tradition of expertise passed down through time, where every component is assembled with care and precision to create a mechanism that combines engineering, design, and emotion.
Since its origins, Solari has offered its clients the opportunity to customize its most iconic models, transforming each clock into an authentic expression of places, architecture, and identity.
From this tradition, the Special Editions were born: exclusive creations designed for collectors, architects, interior designers, and brands seeking objects capable of standing apart from trends and beyond time.
Over the years, the unique language of Solari’s split flaps has given rise to prestigious collaborations and exclusive interpretations, including editions created for the MoMA Design Store in New York, the renowned Parisian concept store Colette, and the TWA Hotel in New York, where the iconic Cifra 3 was reinterpreted to engage with the architecture and timeless atmosphere of the golden age of travel.
To celebrate Solari’s 300th anniversary, founded in 1725 in Pesariis, the Village of Clocks, a limited collection was also created to mark this important milestone. Three exclusive celebratory versions reinterpret the iconic Cifra 3 through dedicated finishes and details, paying tribute to three centuries of innovation, design, and the culture of time.
Each special edition is much more than a collector’s item. It is an encounter between history and contemporaneity, between memory and design.
A Solari clock is not simply purchased.
It is chosen.
It is told.
It is passed down.
