Smith of Derby's Clocks now on permanent display in Dubai Showroom

Posted on 08 November, 2011

 

 

Smith of Derby, the world’s leading clockmaker, is now showcasing a number of its luxury clocks in Dubai’s renowned Arte Vivo showroom.

 

This is an exciting opportunity to see the company’s luxury clocks in a contextual and permanent setting, surrounded by opulent lighting and furniture.

 

Arte Vivo  provides systematic interior design services, including the design and manufacture of furniture to the contract hospitality and private residence sectors.  

 

Specialising in the creation and project management of high-end interior design. Arte Vivo is well positioned to deal with every step of the design, manufacture and delivery process.

 

Having exhibited several times in the region at trade fairs and private viewings, this is the first time Smith of Derby clocks will be available to view in Dubai on a permanent basis.

 

Initially, to explore the quality and craftsmanship of these clocks, the company’s Whitehurst mantel clock is on display, part of its luxury Whitehurst Clocks range, as well as the exclusive Islamic Prayer Clock and a 100 year-old traditional clock movement, which has proved so popular with exhibition-goers.

 

Bob Betts, Smith of Derby's Managing Director, said: “This is an exciting opportunity for us and we are delighted to be working with Arte Vivo, a company that shares our vision of luxury interiors.

 

“We feel our clocks compliment their existing products superbly, and it gives the chance for designers, hoteliers and architects to see our clocks in context and at their leisure.”

 

Mike Pass, Managing Director for Arte Vivo, said: “Smith of Derby produce beautiful clocks that we are very happy to have in our showroom. We are extremely pleased to be working with the company and look forward to a long and happy relationship.”
