At Aladean, we pride ourselves on crafting not just gifts,
but heirlooms that resonate with the deepest emotions. One of our most cherished creations is the Table Clock with Compass, a design that blends functionality, elegance, and sentimentality into one timeless piece. Handmade in brass and featuring a fully functional compass at its base, this clock embodies more than just time—it captures moments of love that last forever. We carefully engraved two heartfelt quotes on the back of each clock, designed specifically to celebrate love in all its forms.
Inspiration Behind the Original Quotes: "Eternal as the Sun, My Love is for You" & "I Will Love You Until the End of Time"
07-March 2015 , on his birthday & our anniversary, the process of creating this clock began with a simple, yet profound question: How do we symbolize the eternal nature of love? For centuries, humanity has looked to the sun and the endless passage of time as metaphors for unending affection. The sun rises each day, and time flows endlessly forward—both constants in our lives, much like the enduring love we feel for those dearest to us. This is the concept that inspired the first quote:
"Eternal as the Sun, My Love is for You."
This quote captures the warmth, light, and eternal presence that love brings into our lives. Whether it’s the love between romantic partners or the deep, unconditional love between a parent and child, this quote perfectly encapsulates the timeless, unwavering nature of affection..

The second quote:
"I Will Love You Until the End of Time."
This sentiment resonates with couples who have shared a journey through life, marked by moments both big and small. It’s a promise of devotion, a commitment that transcends the passing of days and years. This quote can also be seen as a vow from a parent to a child, a symbol of everlasting protection and care.
These quotes were created to reflect the emotions that come with lasting relationships, whether they are between partners, parents, or children. They were meticulously engraved on the clock’s back, making each piece a personal declaration of enduring love. This unique feature is what makes our Table Clock more than just a timepiece—it’s a symbol of infinite devotion.

The Design Process: A Marriage of Form and Function
The design of this table clock was inspired by both aesthetic elegance and practical functionality. The brass rod from which the 2-inch clock hangs gives it a vintage charm, while the compass at the base adds an element of adventure and exploration—perfect for couples setting sail on the journey of life or for parents guiding their children through the world's complexities.
We envisioned this clock not just as a decorative item, but as a symbolic gift. The clock represents the time spent together, while the compass signifies direction, guiding the recipient toward a bright future.
The hanging clock is designed to evoke the image of a vintage pocket watch, an heirloom passed down through generations. The brass finish gives it an antique look that fits into any room décor, while the intricate craftsmanship ensures it will be cherished for years to come. Every element of the clock, from the hanging brass arm to the functional compass, was designed with meticulous care, ensuring that it stands out as a unique and meaningful gift.
A Gift for Every Type of Love: Not Just for Couples
What makes this clock special is that it is not just limited to romantic relationships. We recognized that love is universal, shared between parents and children, siblings, and even close friends. Whether it’s a mother telling her son that her love is as eternal as the sun, or a father reassuring his daughter that his love will guide her until the end of time, this clock transcends traditional romantic gifts.
Here are a few ways in which this clock can be gifted to celebrate different types of love:
