GRAVITY has announced its latest creation, the Universe Time, a futuristic clock that brings magnetic levitation and sci-fi aesthetics to the living room or office desk. Combining art, engineering, and a dash of playful interactivity, the device is positioned as less of a timekeeper than an experience.
Floating Time, Literally
The centerpiece of Universe Time is GRAVITY’s proprietary 720° Free Float technology, which suspends a pointer in midair at any angle without breaking its position. The effect creates the illusion of time orbiting like a planet in space. Unlike traditional levitating gadgets that lock into a single orientation, the pointer here remains stable no matter how it’s positioned.
Owners can tap into a tactile experience by pressing on the pointer, which responds with a repulsive push while still holding steady in its orbit. For those who enjoy a hands-on challenge, GRAVITY even suggests carefully balancing the pointer into position manually—like docking a spacecraft with a steady hand.
Planetary Time Simulation
Universe Time isn’t limited to Earth’s standard 24-hour cycle. The device lets users experience planetary time modes, simulating the rotation speeds of worlds like Mercury, Venus, or Jupiter. That means you can watch hours speed by in minutes or slow down time for a meditative focus session. Pointer speeds can be adjusted from 0.1x to 10x, making the clock a tool for concentration, relaxation, or just showing off to friends.
Sci-Fi Design Meets Smart Control
The clock doubles as a piece of futuristic décor. Its HSL light ring, made of 60 customizable LEDs, outlines the floating pointer with colors and dynamic effects that users can fine-tune via the companion app. The app itself is styled like the helm of a spaceship, offering settings for mode, brightness, and animations while storing user preferences for future sessions.
From a design standpoint, GRAVITY describes Universe Time as sci-fi art, aiming to transform any space into a futuristic bridge inspired by the cosmos.
Under the Hood
Practical details haven’t been overlooked. The device runs on a 5,000mAh lithium-ion battery, charged via USB Type-C with PD 12V/2A input. It weighs about 904 grams, measures roughly 162 × 158 × 151 mm, and operates within a temperature range of -10°C to 35°C.
