Founded by two enthusiasts in 2019, Sō Labs strives to create design-focused watches. Sō — Japanese for “beginning,” “creativity,” and “layer” — perfectly encapsulates the Chicago-based company’s mission of building unique timepieces with an emphasis on color, layering, and transparency.

The Layer Three Desk Clock transforms the brand’s signature multi-layer dial design into a stylish desktop companion. Its rounded design offers a unique addition to your work surface. At 100mm x 123mm, it is well-sized for visibility while placing a premium on space. With the pink center representing seconds, the long skeletonized hand representing minutes and the large triangular hand representing hours. Sō Labs has also cleverly added a colorful gradient wheel to the movement’s hour shaft, allowing for an ever-changing appearance across the day. 

With a reliable time-only quartz movement, the Layer Three is perfect for plug-and-play capability. It is powered by a single AA battery (Not Included).
