  • About This Work
     

    The QLOCKTWO EARTH 13.5 (formerly TOUCH) measures 5.3" x 5.3" and is an artful interpretation of the nightstand / desktop alarm clock. It consists of a clock matrix body and interchangeable Front Cover, that together, tell time in words. The words display time in 5-minute increments, while 4 perimeter dots light up to signify the 1-4 minutes in-between. Features include: gentle to increasingly persuasive alarm, touch functions, night light, and 4 illumination settings. View details for a complete list of features.

    ALUMINUM + ACRYLIC GLASS
    This edition is composed of an acrylic glass front cover paired with a cast aluminum body.

    EARTH 13.5 SPECIAL EDITIONS
    EARTH 13.5 Special Editions are comprised of unique front covers with different aluminum body finishes & cables. The Creator's Edition Hand-Rusted Raw Steel and Deep Black Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) Coated finishes have a black coated solid aluminum body and base, while the Golden Legend has a 24k gold coated body and base. All three come with a 137" black cloth cable. The Full Metal edition has a silver solid aluminum body and comes with the standard 118" metal mesh power cable.

    INTERCHANGEABLE FRONT COVERS
    You only need to purchase one clock matrix body to use any language or style TOUCH Front Cover*. Front Covers may be purchased separately once you own a clock matrix. They are held in place by magnets and are easily interchanged. Front Covers are available in over 20 different languages in either QOLOR polished acrylic glass, or Special Edition stainless steel finishes with laser cut letters in a variety of finishes.

    CORPORATE GIFT
    The TOUCH'S Front Cover and/or base can be custom engraved for corporate gifts. The genius of etching the base with a logo is that the recipient can choose to display it in front of the clock, or conceal it by hiding it behind the clock. In either case, your customer will be reminded fondly of your business every day. Front Covers can also be custom colored.

    • Removing & replacing the Front Cover

      The Front Cover is held in place with magnets.

      • Have a clean, level surface ready to place the Front Cover on before removing it.
      • For all Stainless Steel Front Covers: use cotton gloves when handling (included with delivery).
      • Carefully pull off the Front Cover to remove it. Always set it down with the front facing up to avoid scratches.
      • For all Acrylic Glass Front Covers: remove the Front Cover from the clock body before removing the protective film. Place the Front Cover on a clean, even surface. Remove the protective film slowly, beginning at a corner.
      • Replace the Front Cover accurately onto the front of the clock body.

      If you have multiple Front Covers that are not in use, we recommend wrapping them in a scratch resistant material such as tyvek, or storing them in the plastic sleeve they arrive in plus bubble wrap or or sandwiching between foam core / cardboard cut at least 1” larger than the Front Cover’s edges to prevent accidental damage.

    • Where not to display
      • Do not use the clock in rooms where humidity is high (e.g. bathrooms). This can damage the clock circuitry
      • Do not place the clock directly adjacent to electronic devices that could be sensitive to the clock’s magnets (such as a hard drive).
      • Do not place the clock where it could incur unintentional knocks or pulling of the cable.
      • Do not place on unstable surface.
      • Do not place near a liquid container (such as night stand coffee or water) that could accidentally be spilled on the clock.
      • Avoid direct heat radiation, for example heat from radiators
      • Avoid direct sunlight
    • Cleaning Front Covers

      The Front Cover is held in place with magnets and should be taken off for cleaning. Have a clean, level surface ready to place it on. Carefully pull off the Front Cover to remove it. Always set it down with the front facing up to avoid scratches. Follow cleaing instructions below depending on your variant. After cleaning, replace the Front Cover accurately onto the front of the case.

      CAUTION: Polishing cloths and solvents (e.g. turpentine or benzene), and detergents containing alcohol (e.g. spirit) may damage the surfaces. Use cotton gloves (included with delivery) whenever handling stainless steel Front Covers.

      • Acrylic Glass Front Cover (QOLOR)
        Remove slight stains with the microfiber cloth (included with delivery). Remove stubborn stains with a suitable acrylic glass detergent or with a soft cloth and water containing a tiny amount of dishwasher detergent.
      • Brushed Stainless Steel Front Cover (STAINLESS STEEL)
        Remove slight stains with the microfiber cloth (included with delivery). Remove stubborn stains with a suitable stainless steel cleaner. We use Weiman's Stainless Steel wipes: wipe it on, use a microfiber cloth to take off the excess and buff it.

    • Return policy

      If you are uncertain about purchasing a QLOCKTWO, please contact us BEFORE purchasing. Otherwise, our full return policy applies

      Most QLOCKTWO pre-sale questions involve which Front Cover finish to purchase or which size is best for your space. We can help you decide. Like any work of art, experiencing it in person is different from looking at in on your smartphone or monitor. Depending on your choices, we can either send a sample and/or scaled print to help you decide. It's ideal to see art in the actual space to decide (lighting, wall color, surrounding decor, etc. can all influence your selection). Please contact us with any pre-sale questions before purchasing.

    • Warranty & repairs

      The manufacturer’s warranty is valid for two years from delivery. Only use your QLOCKTWO EARTH 13.5 with original accessories. Failure to observe the information in the instructions for use outlined in the manual or modifying, opening or altering your QLOCKTWO EARTH 13.5 is not covered by QLOCKTWO's warranty.

      Never attempt to repair or dismantle your QLOCKTWO EARTH 13.5 yourself. Contact us for QLOCKTWO EARTH 13.5 circuit board repair and replacement parts.

  • Pre-Sale Questions
    • Can the wall models be wall mounted with a hidden cable?

      Yes, most of our customers directly wire both works (with an electrician), but each also can be plugged directly into an outlet. The EARTH 45's textile power cable is designed for display and comes in 7 different colors. QLOCKTWO ships with all necessary electrical components for either type of installation. MOON is powered by a rechargeable battery and does not require wiring.

    • Can you send samples?

      Yes, this is part of our business. If you are not 100% certain which variant you want, please contact us for samples so you can see variants in person—in your home or office.

    • How is QLOCKTWO pronounced?

      "Clock Two"

    • I am not sure which size is best for my space.

      Please contact us before purchasing. We can help in several ways: schedule a video call showing us your space; send a photo and we can photoshop different options into your space; request a scaled print to position on your wall.

    • Are any of the QLOCKTWO models battery operated?

      The MOON editions are, the EARTH editions are not. Each EARTH model has a 24 hour battery reserve should you lose power temporarily. If you have any electrical concerns, please contact us.

    • Are you an authorized retailer?

      Yes. We work closely with and order directly from all of our makers.

    • Is the time difficult to set?

      No. There are 3 buttons: hour, 5 minute increments, and 1 minute increments. You can also set the time with an app.

    • Can you ship to locations outside of North America?

      No

    • Will I be able to see the time on a white Front Cover?

      Yes, looking at light Front Covers online is misleading. We are yet to have a client return a Front Cover because they couldn't read the time. When you look at a light Front Cover online, both the opaque front cover and the lit numbers are formed by LEDs. The reality is very different in person. Hold an opaque piece of white paper next to this white screen. What happens? The white paper appears much darker than the screen, even though both are 'white'. There is plenty of contrast to read the lit words on a QLOCKTWO with a white front cover.

    • How long do LEDs last?

      Though technology is constantly improving, today's LEDs last approximately 50,000 hours (or 6 years of continuous operation before decreased luminosity). If your work is in a second home or you are away for long periods of time, you can always unplug or turn off the work (discuss this request with your electrician before wiring directly). Setting the luminosity to auto-adaptive or a lower luminosity level will also increase the lifespan. When your LEDs reach the end of their life, there is a very reasonable circuit replacement program. It is important to us that when our work is installed in your good home, it stays there.

    • How long does the motor on the MOON last?

      The motor used is rated to last 30 years, but considering it only makes a quarter turn a day, it should be even longer.

    • Why would I order a black corpus (clock body) instead of a white one?

      You only see less than 1" of the side of the EARTH 45 model (and slightly more on a EARTH 90) when it's wall mounted—and only from an angle. However, the black corpus looks elegant with several variants. We strongly suggesting pairing it with the Metamorphite (it gives the illusion of a thick piece of slate). A black corpus also works well with the Hand-Rusted, Raw Iron, Platinum and Black Pepper finishes. If you are displaying the work on a table, consider that the back of the work might be on display too, so even more or less black might be desirable (Metamorphite, Glintscaps and Precious Metal finishes can not be displayed desktop). Currently, far less black corpuses are produced than white, so the price is a little higher. Custom colors are also available.

    • My purchase is a gift and it will not arrive in time from Germany. What can we do?

      We have solutions depending on the situation; please contact us.

    • How high should I hang the work? Is it easy to install?

      Unless it's a tall work, we recommend hanging art with a vertical center point of around 55" from the floor. Some galleries prefer 58". We are aware people tend to hang art higher in their homes. If everything is hung on the higher side in you home, stick with your home's rules. The EARTH 45 is easy for one person with hanging experience to install, while the 90 and 180 models require multiple people and experience hanging heavy objects. Most states require you to hire a licensed electrician for direct wiring.
