About the warning

About Mercury Ping Retrograde Radar by Golden Temper

We make a playful physical and digital early-warning system for Mercury Retrograde—equal parts useful status display, beautiful desk object, and shared joke.

The idea

Astrologers associate Mercury retrograde with communication and technology problems. We simply make sure you know when it is happening. Scientifically, Mercury is not actually moving backwards. Spiritually, that is between you and Mercury.

Built with proof, not hype

The RX-01 desk device is being validated before large-scale manufacturing. Real interest and pre-orders guide what gets built, helping us make a better object without producing hundreds of unwanted units.

The long view

Mercury is the first signal in a wider Cosmic Warning System: thoughtfully designed alerts for planetary cycles, eclipses, moon phases, and genuine astronomical events.
