The Dashboard Clock – Mid-Century Modern Mahogany & Figured Maple Inlay Clock by Eric Blackwell

from $350.00

A mid-century modern table clock handcrafted from mahogany and figured maple inlay. Inspired by classic car interiors and modernist design, built by hand in Los Angeles.


The Dashboard Clock takes its inspiration from the sculpted dashboards and fine materials of mid-century automobiles — a time when craftsmanship and design went hand in hand. I build each one by hand in my Los Angeles studio from solid mahogany and figured maple, balancing warmth and contrast in the inlay details.

The pedestal base is shaped in a cross form that echoes the structural balance of vintage automotive design. Compact yet substantial, the clock measures 5 inches wide, 6.5 inches tall, and 2.25 inches deep — perfect for a bookshelf, credenza, or desk. It’s finished in lacquer for a lasting, refined surface that highlights the depth of the wood.

Each piece is signed and fitted with a precision quartz movement for reliable performance. Optional engraving on the backplate makes this a thoughtful gift or collectible object — a modern piece of functional art that pays quiet tribute to the mid-century era.
