Product: LeeLabs Para Clocks

Fresh off a successful capital fundraising campaign, Brooklyn, N.Y.–based startup LeeLabs is busy handcrafting Para Clocks, which are made using CNC-carved molds and high-strength, fiber-reinforced concrete. The 8″-, 12″-, and 16″-diameter clocks use digitally derived, parametric design to achieve intricate radial geometries such as Bloom (shown). An app allows users to customize their own design and create their own timeless timepiece. • paraclocks.com
