This speaker/clock will leave you ‘starstruck’
Speaker, Clock, and a Constellation viewing device. Together they sound quite arbitrary, and if I told you they were all the same product, I’d get some weird looks for sure, but I assure you, they’re the most dreamy (and I use that adjective literally) combination ever. The Cosmos, now in its second iteration (there’s a video of version 1 above), combines clock and speaker, but that isn’t all. The clock face itself looks like a starry sky, with two of the largest stars telling you the time. The Cosmos pairs with an app that allows you to set the time as well as play music from the speakers. The square-shaped speaker/clock comes with two full range speakers and a passive woofer to deliver beautiful audio. The clock itself comprises two etched discs of clear acrylic (one with the hour, the other with the minute + constellation patterns) that light up around the edges thanks to an LED strip that sits around the clock’s periphery.
The speaker and clock both sit behind a fine speaker grill that adds an element of awe to the clock. Light shines through the holes in the grill, making the stars in the constellation actually twinkle and shimmer. The result, you’ll have to admit, looks stunning. The Cosmos can either be kept on a tabletop, thanks to the kickstand, or even be wall-mounted. Either way, you’ll be staring at the stars all day long, while hopefully listening to some nice atmospheric jazz!

A Slice of the Universe on your Wrist
When I look at the Cosmos, I feel like a sailor, steering a ship through not water, but infinite space. The Cosmos is an incredibly exquisite watch with dial designs you won’t have seen anywhere. Each dial is made to look different, yet perform the same function, making it effortless, and an absolute delight to read the time.
The Cosmos’ dial design really shines through with its meticulously layered approach. Intricately cut sheets of razor thin stainless steel form the dial’s rotating hands, or rather discs. However, these are no comparison for the two sapphire rings that bear markings for the hours and minutes. Their impeccable, clear finish make the numbers and markings look like they’re suspended in the infinite cosmos, hence the name. The rotating dials support this design philosophy with their orbital movement, making the Cosmos perfectly embody the confluence of Space and Time!
The Cosmos hides sheer craftsmanship under its beautiful outer surface. Aside from the precisely cut and sand-blasted stainless steel dials, the sapphire rings are assembled with immense dexterity. The hour ring is screwed in place using four embellished screws… an incredibly difficult task, given how susceptible sapphire is to cracking. The watch boasts of a bezel-less design with a double domed sapphire window on the outside. This gives the watch an immaculate appearance, complementing the two other sapphire rings below. Beneath all this sits the Miyota 9015 which powers the Cosmos with perfect Japanese-engineered accuracy. The inner mechanics can be viewed from a window on the back of the watch. The Cosmos comes in three glorious variants, namely Steel, Rose Gold, and for the dreamer, PVD Blue. If you love the idea of having a bejeweled, sapphire-layered intergalactic art-piece on your wrist, the Cosmos may just be the perfect watch for you!

Bring in the Cosmos
This design, called “Cosmos,” brings together three of my (and many others’) favorite things: mood lighting, music and the stars! It’s at once an clock, lamp, speaker and indoor stargazing device designed to set the mood. Search for your favorite constellations with its full map of the northern hemisphere, or be creative by connecting stars in your imagination. There are two distinct stars that display the time intuitively: a big star that tells the hour and small star that tells the minute. Compatible with your smart devices via Bluetooth, you can also play your favorite atmospheric music or set the lamp to your desired ambience. DO want!
