About the Item

Solari Udine Cifra 6 – prima versione – versione cilindrica Alimentazione 220 Volt con riserva di Carica. Solari Cifra 6 è la versione di maggiori dimensioni del celebre e più piccolo orologio Cifra 3. Elettromeccanico a lettura diretta, progettato da Gino Valle e prodotto dall'azienda Solari alla fine degli anni '60. L'orologio fa parte della collezione permanente dello Science Musem di Londra e della collezione permanente del Museum of Modern Art di New York (MoMA) dal 1967. Il design di Solari è quatidianamente al lavoro al MoMA (Museum of Modern Art) di New York anche come display a palette per le informazioni al pubblico. Materiali: Il complesso dell'orologio, formato dal motore, dalla parte meccanica e dai rulli di palette, è realizzato in PVC. Il pannello interno, invece, è in poliestere e fibra di vetro stampato a transfer. La cassa che lo avvolge è composta da tre pezzi: 1. una parte anteriore trasparente, in polimetacrilato di metile. 2. un involucro posteriore in termoplastico ABS. 3. una chiusura laterale con leva per la correzione dell’ora e dei minuti, anch'essa in ABS. Componenti meccaniche e funzionamento: Le componenti meccaniche mobili di cui l'orologio è composto sono: due rulli di palette (uno da 48 per le ore e uno da 60 per i minuti) e un motore posto sullo stesso asse dei rulli. Il funzionamento è semplice, perfetto e immutato dal 1966. I rapporti tra Gino Valle e l'azienda Solari iniziarono nel 1954 con la progettazione dell'orologio elettromeccanico Cifra 5 a scatto di cifre (brevettato nel 1957), costituito da 4 palette verticali di 10 numeri ciascuna che compongono tutte le ore. L’orologio Cifra 5 fu il capostipite di una vera e propria famiglia di orologi di tipo industriale, premiato al Compasso d’Oro nel 1956. Con l'aiuto dell'inventore belga John Meyer si riuscì ad ottenere un rullo di 48 palette che portò alla realizzazione del più piccolo orologio a lettura diretta, l'iconico Cifra 3, ideale da tenere a casa o in ufficio. Gino Valle, architetto, designer, pittore, conosciuto in tutto il mondo, lascia la propria impronta nel disegno del rullo a palette (brevettato nel 1966) e, alla fine degli anni ’60, nelle forme inconfondibili di Cifra 3, il più piccolo degli orologi a lettura diretta. "Design come linguaggio degli oggetti, come forma che ne trasforma il rapporto con l’uomo, come forza comunicativa che modifica l’ambiente e lo spazio in cui sono collocati." Con Cifra 3, il design di Solari, fa parte della collezione permanente dello Science Musem di Londra e del MoMA (Museum of Modern Art) di New York dove è esposto anche display a palette per le informazioni al pubblico.
