Biography
Amjad Al Hajj is an architect and clock designer whose practice investigates the relationship between function, form and permanence through collectable timepieces. His background in architecture and model-making informs a disciplined approach to proportion, construction and material detailing. Established in Dubai through his early work with architectural models, Al Hajj gradually expanded his practice to object design, viewing clocks as vessels capable of translating the abstract notion of time into physical form. His works balance technical precision with sculptural restraint, positioning functional objects within the context of collectable design. Through refined craftsmanship and architectural sensibility, his practice reflects a sustained interest in durability, cultural value and the emotional resonance of everyday objects.
Entropy
This timepiece captures the delicate balance between order and chaos. The numbers dissolve and scatter, symbolising the natural flow of time as it moves from structure to unpredictability. Yet, at its heart, the clock’s hands remain steady, a reminder that even in the midst of disorder, time never ceases its journey. A poetic reflection of the impermanence that defines our existence.
