Setting the time is simple with the 2 buttons located on the back of the ClockClock 24. Time is displayed on a 12 or 24-hour cycle (adjusted using the Mode button).

• Choose whether you wish to display time in either 12 or 24 hour format using the mode button (see 'Setting Mode')
• Once you push the hour or minute button, the artwork will show the time.
• As long as the time is displayed on the artwork, you can adjust it.
• The clock hands will immediately start to move when pushing the hour or minute buttons.
• Push the hour button once to increase the time by an hour.
• Push the minute button once to increase the time by a minute.

• Press and hold any of the three buttons until you hear 3 beeps; all clock hands will move to and remain in 'six' position.
• The artwork is now in sleep mode and is using a very small amount of power to remember the time.
• You also may enter this mode to re-align the hands. See 'Re-aligning the clock hands'.

If the hands become out of synch, you will need to re-align the hands.

• Always wear the cotton gloves when touching the artwork body and/or hands.
• Switch the artwork off (press and hold any button until you hear 3 beeps).
• Hands will move into position 'six'. Gently re-align any hands that are not facing down.
• Press any button to resume displaying the time.

All hands should be pointing down in the 'six' position.

• ClockClock 24 should be cleaned at least once every six months to avoid dust related build-up and issues in the electronics which may affect the warranty.
• Before cleaning the ClockClock 24 you should stop the artwork. To stop the artwork press any of the three buttons for a minimum of 15 seconds, all the hands will point down to 6:30. The ClockClock 24 artwork will remain stopped until you press any of the three buttons once to restart. The clock hands will turn back into their initial position in the last selected mode.
• Once the artwork is turned off, you can clean the surface of the artwork with a cloth lightly damped in warm soapy water, ammonia-based household cleaner, or a dedicated counter-top cleaner. Avoid using window cleaners as they can leave a waxy build-up that dulls the surface. Never spray liquids directly onto the artwork. Do not scrub or apply liquid to gold-plated hands.
• Wipe the surface of the artwork completely dry immediately after cleaning to prevent film build-up.
• Use a feather duster or a can of compressed air to remove the dust from the surface more frequently. If some hands were misaligned during the cleaning, you can re-align described in 'Re-aligning the clock hands'.

Once the clock is switched off, remove the clock from the hanging plate, unplug the cable and place the clock on a soft surface.

ClockClock 24 has a built-in battery that keeps track of time in case of a power cutage, so you don't need to reset the time. Once the power is back on, it will resume with the current time.

• Do not install in rooms with high humidity or outdoors.
• Do not place the artwork where it could incur unintentional knocks or pulling of the cable.
• Avoid direct heat radiation, for example heat from radiators
• Avoid direct sunlight
• Though quiet, not for use in areas where absolute silence is required.

Yes, though the white USB cable is very slender (115" long, 0.125" thick), a recessed outlet is the most common solution for concealing the cable. Clients also have run the USB cable through the wall to an outlet below the work or on the opposite side of the wall (such as in a closet). We do not recommend using a USB outlet because the maker does not recommmend it. Also, it must match the adapter output and provide a continuous flow of electricity—and if anything goes wrong it is much easier troubleshooting and replacing an adapter than outlet.

Yes, we can send you a scaled print and corian samples. Please contact us.

ClockClock 24's motors are very quiet and may only be noticeable at a close proximity in near silent settings. We do not recommend you install it in any room where absolute silence is important. The best analogy we have is that when it's in motion, it's similar to a very quiet white noise.

No, but do not tell your electrician they are installing a Swedish kinetic art piece, they will panic! We say it's similar to installing a tv. We have an installation video for new and prospective clients. The work is 40lbs, mounts on a metal bracket and requires two adults to insall. Always uses the included cotton gloves when touching the work.

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 too high in their homes. We do not recommend installing any heavy artwork above a bed or sofa.

Yes. We work closely with and order directly from all of our makers. Your order ships to Charlotte NC from Stockholm, Sweden, we inspect it and ship to you (2 day transit time). It is not a returned or refurbished work from us unless we specify. There is only one maker, and it is never discounted or 'on sale'. You can contact the maker directly to verify Clock Forward as a retail partner. Also, we are a little too visible to fly under the radar.

There periodically are scam sites and campaigns fraudulently using photos of Humans since 1982's actual work for sale using different brand names at a fraction of the cost on social media and ecommerce websites. If you are tempted to try, we can save you the trouble: you'll either get nothing, or something of little value just to generate tracking so it's more difficult for you to file a claim. The only lower priced work by the studio is the ClockClock 9—priced around $2k. Aside from somd DIY educational tutorials on making your own (if you have an extra 100 hours), we have never seen another working model for sale.

Yes. The edition name and number are printed on the back, lower right. A certificate of authenticity also is included. Your purchase receipt from us also assures that you own a genuine work.

No. If you are overseas, please contact us and we will connect you directly with our colleague at Humans since 1982.

If it was unreliable, we would not sell it. We field support calls for all our makers from our clients and customers who did not purchase from us and can say repairs are rare and can usually be done locally if necessary. Each work has a 2 year manufacturer's warranty that includes the repair cost and shipping (if necessary). Humans since 1982 has larger works valued at 100k+ installed worldwide. The studio has developed this series for over a decade; the ClockClock 24 edition has existed since 2015. Humans since 1982 is dedicated to maintaining their work. Clock Forward is committed to the principle that once a work we sell is installed in your good home or business, we want it to stay there.

Yes. It ships with a 1100mAh Lipo battery with built in cell protection for short term power loss. Like any expensive electronical work, we also advise you to make sure there is surge protection—whether whole house or locally.

Though the work is mesmerizingly precise, sometimes a hand is slightly unaligned. This is not something we nor our clients have found distracting when enjoying the work. You are purchasing a kinetic work of art, not an atomic clock. ClockClock 24 is simple to recalibrate should you ever need to do so; whenever you pause or power down the work, simply realign the hands pointing down (6:30 position). Expensive mechanical clocks need to be wound every 7-8 days; ClockClock 24 requires far less attention.

We have printed gift cards for each edition that we can send you. Please contact us.
