Hi, there~
On this page we share the heart behind our hand-embroidered clocks.
Why Embby?
As a new parent, I was looking for a way to capture the joy of my child's birth— something beautiful, personalized, and quiet for my sensitive baby. Hand-embroidered clocks fit perfectly. They’re silent, can be placed on the wall or table, and their designs are timeless. That’s how Embby was born, and now we focus on these clocks to help others express their love and create lasting memories.
-Kelly, Founder of Embby
The Hands That Celebrate Time
Every clock is made by mothers from Chinese villages—like Zhang Li, who teaches her daughter to embroider after homework. They laugh at any crooked wings because, as she says, "Perfect is boring. Stories aren’t." Each clock is a unique work of art, crafted with care and passion by these remarkable women.
Why Choose Embby?
Our clocks are more than just timekeepers; they're storykeepers. They mark the moments that matter—first steps, whispered apologies, shared laughs over burnt pancakes. With our two distinct designs—the Dove design for families with babies, symbolizing new beginnings and growth, and the swallow design for couples, representing love and companionship—you can choose the one that best fits your special occasion. Our personalization options allow you to add names, dates, or special messages to make each clock a unique treasure that tells your story. Whether it's for a new baby, a wedding anniversary, or just to say "I love you," our clocks are the perfect way to express what matters most.
The 8+ Hours Truth: Made by Humans, For Humans
Each Embby clock is a labor of love, taking More than 8 hours of handwork to complete. There are no machines involved; every stitch is made by human hands. The slight imperfections you might notice are not mistakes; they're a testament to the fact that each clock is made by real people, with all their imperfections and love. When you choose an Embby clock, you're not just getting a beautiful, personalized item; you're also helping these amazing women support their families and keep their traditional craft alive. It's a way to give back while getting something truly special.
