Less of the same, more of the different.

We believe that life’s too beautiful for dull design and boring basics. That’s why we founded LEFF amsterdam: to make outspoken objects that tell the time or light up their surroundings. Your life deserves interesting surroundings.

All LEFF products are designed by international designers, developed with personality and style and the utmost attention to durability and quality. We hope you enjoy using our products as much as we did making them. Because, LEFF is more!

our concept

From my childhood on it was clear that I had a passion for creating. Creating in general, but designing products in particular. With a background in engineering I try to fuse creativity and technology in my designs.

As in-house designer of LEFF amsterdam I create contemporary products which can be described as accesible design, just linking usual things to create something unusual.

scope

This clock offers a different perspective on time: every angle will give a new experience. Erwin emphasized the inseparable elements time and light in the scope. Time is based on light and darkness and so is this clock. The twelve segments play with light and darkness as you walk by. The japanese movement is surrounded by a high quality polystyrene casing.

We create our works with experimental methods. Rather than fulfilling current needs, the purpose of our work is to explore possibilities between people and objects. It could be positive or sarcastic. We believe the aim of design is not simply providing a solution, but also reflecting the designer’s life experiences and thoughts. We wish to bring more affecting moments to people’s lives in a humorous way.

day&night

Deson and Mike created a whole new interpretation of time. The concept is inspired by their own experiences: a watch is needed when going out and a clock when staying at home. The clock can only be completed and function when the watch is inserted into the case. This redefines the relationship between clock and watch, as well as increasing the watch’s lifetime.

Battery: SR626 The following icons are applicable to these clocks

My works are always inspired by three principles; the function, the materials and the details of the everyday object. The shape and structure of the wyzer are inspired by PET bottles. the properties of this plastic make it possible to make the hands extremely light and thin, yet with great stability.

The clock is composed from mainly two parts. Two big hands; the only visible parts of the clock.That is why any wall will be a good background and making it into the biggest clock you can have in your room.

wyzer

LEFF is more and so is less. Not just hands but graphic images show you the time: changing decoration 12 hours long. This clock comes with a high quality German movement to guarantee a perfect and reliable timepiece . The two hands cover the poly propylene movement casing. Reinhard chose for these unique colour combinations to add even more to the individuality of this clock.

After designing and developing home accessories for many years, including clocks, it is a challenge to design and realize ultimate “no limit” time pieces from scratch for LEFF amsterdam.

We have created the new standard in time by creating timeless works of art. New dimensions, new standards, new looks. It is great to be part of LEFF amsterdam, because: LEFF is more!

The design of the one series is an instant classic; an iconic design recognised for its timelessness, quality and durability. The brushed stainless steel case combined with the recyclable poly propylene back makes this clock well constructed and reliable. Inside, a high quality japanese movement will indicate the right time and because we are so confident of its quality, we give you a 5 year warranty.Also available with radio controlled movement

Some people still prefer to look at numbers instead of stripes; that’s why Wiebe also offers this ‘arabic dial’ version. Naturally, you can expect the same quality and durability. Its delicate hands and slim stainless steel edge gives a nice contrast with the robust and strong thickness of the clock. This combination of elements creates a perfectly balanced and pleasantly neutral clock to look at.Also available with radio controlled movement

There’s no way we could leave out a roman version from the one series. This timepiece represents the ultimate fusion of classic and modern design. The points at the end of the hands fit perfectly with the design of the dial. Every clock in the one series can be recognized by the subtle, but unmissable orange dot in the centre.

Same dial, different colour. The translation from white to black changes the whole character of this clock. All of a sudden, the outlook is tougher and draws more attention. The outside looks totally different, but on the inside we didn’t change a thing. A very readable clock thanks the white index and hands.Also available with radio controlled movement

In all LEFF clocks the Japanese movement is protected by a poly-propylene back casing. By opening the battery cover the time can be set or the battery can be replaced. All the icons that are applicable to the properties of the clock are displayed on the back of the battery cover.

A watch on the wall. The beauty of the convex glass in combination with the one dial performed in an index and an arabic version makes this design irresistable. The glass is connected to the plastic back casing with 4 stainless steel clamps. The back of the clock is closed and well constructed. This clock from the one series has a slim and substantial appearance.

The so-called ‘Extra Large’ in the range of the one series. It blends in with your wall. The durable aluminum base and special matt painted finish give this clock a modern, yet classic look. The ideal timepiece for a larger room where time is important and needs to be visible to more than one person. With its small thickness the clock is modestly present.

If you change the material, you change the product. The graphics combined with the mirror finish guarantees style on the wall. The hands are part of the whole, since they are in the same finish as the hands. As soon as the sun shines upon the surface the appearance is totally different. At the back of the clock, the Japanese movement is covered by the movement holder. This part is important for the protection of the fragile movement and to make sure the clock is hung flat to the wall.

The one embossed dial in aluminium is the most complicated and sophisticated dial of the LEFF collection. Creating a dial while forcing a material to the limit. The result is this robust clock where the materials play the most prominent role. This clock comes in 25cm and 35cm diameter.

bold


Bold and beautiful. A big stainless steel rim with a simple subtle dial. The dial is embossed out of an aluminium plate to give an extra dimension. The bold series are also part of our basic clocks, therefore we decided to give this clock our signature dot. Just as the one series the bolds are of the same quality.

Modestly brilliant; this clock is the sophisticated beauty in the collection. Created with the intention to bring brilliance to the room without the showing off. It is both a beautiful decorative item and a precision time instrument. The aluminium base is spray-painted with a rough matt finish. The finish of the diamonds is shiny and therefore contrasting with their background.

The ultimate melting pot; beautiful coloured glass and a stainless steel edge. A clock in the most basic way, built up out of high quality stainless steel and glass. The iconic index dial of the clock makes it look familiar but unique. The plastic movement holder creates space between the glass plate and the wall. An optic illusion in your room.

Made from a single piece of high-density plastic, this dome is a unique member of our collection. The domed shape makes this clock yet extraordinary and catching. Even in the back of this clock, the beauty is visible. The finish of the clock is matt, but the finish of the hands is shiny, making the clock easier to read.
