  • About This Work
    Watch 3 modes of movement for ClockClock 24. Mode 1 begins at 0:00, Mode 2 at 9:40, and Mode 3 at 15:37

    ClockClock 24 by Humans since 1982 is both a kinetic sculpture art edition and functioning timepiece. It combines conceptual art with technical synchronized precision and expert craftsmanship. Each work is produced and carefully assembled in Humans since 1982's workshop in Stockholm, Sweden.

    CONCEPT
    The ClockClock project started in 2008 by Per Emanuelsson and Bastian Bischoff. Inspired by the question "How to shape time", the university duo experimented with analog clock hands that would depict a changing, moving typography. They showed a mock-up to electrical engineer, Australian David Cox. Cox (also now part of Humans since 1982) helped the duo develop a prototype. A curator at the auction house Phillips de Pury took the work to Saatchi Gallery London and sold one to a Russian oligarch. Selling on the art market in a small edition number, ClockClock 24 was eventually created to reach a broader audience. This work is part of an ongoing series within a broader body of artistic work. Along with ClockClock 24, there are several other editions and commissions including the recent ClockClock L and the ongoing A million Times works. Please contact us for more information.

    THE MOVEMENT
    Twenty-four clocks come together to tell a collective story in one singular digital display. Each individual clock hand is choreographed in line with the others; the twenty-four clocks tell the time as a collective, rather than individually. The clocks transition from unpredictable spinning to synchronized alignment—visually representing both the concept of time and the literal display of time.ClockClock 24 can be programmed in 12-or 24-hour time format and can display three different modes of movement between each minute: minimal, medium or elaborate. Elaborate contains ten different choreographies shown over ten minutes on a loop.

    THE BODY
    ClockClock 24 is available in 8 editions: White, Grey, Black (950 works each); Golden Hands (White or Black), Sterling Hands (White or Black) and Noir (250 works each). The hands in the Golden Hands editions are 22k gold-plated. The clock body is made of Corian (acrylic polymer & mineral composite similar to granite). Please contact us for Corian samples (especially if you are debating between white and grey). Clock Clock 24 is 40lbs and for wall display only; it includes necessary wall mounting hardware & accessories. The cord can be concealed by recessing the outlet, or running the cord inside the wall to a baseboard or opposite wall outlet.

    MORE EDITIONS AVAILABLE
    Larger scale works are available from the studio in the A million Times series. Please contact Kirk for more information.

      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).

      cc24 buttons

      • 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.
    • Switching the artwork off
      • 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'.
    • Re-aligning the hands

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

      cc24 buttons
      All hands should be pointing down in the 'six' position.

    • Cleaning
      • 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'.
    • Moving the clock

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

    • Battery backup

      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.

    • Where not to display
      • 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.
    • Return policy

      Clock Forward does not accept returns for ClockClock 24. We feel all our customers deserve a new unused work, and each time the work is shipped increases the risk of damaging the artwork.

We do not mind if your purchase process takes months and if you have numerous questions.

Clock Forward and Humans since 1982 are committed to providing out of warranty support at reasonable costs as long as we exist. The studio has a history of maintaining large scale works around the world.

      If damage results from not following the ClockClock 24 manual, the warranty will become invalid. The warranty will expire if your ClockClock 24 is tampered with (e.g. altered, opened or modified) or if the seal on the back of the artwork is broken.

      Please contact us with any pre-sale questions or maintenance concerns.

    • Repairs

      Any maintenance or repair work should be carried out by Humans since 1982 or an expert authorized by Humans since 1982.

  • Pre-Sale Questions
    • Can ClockClock24 be installed with a hidden wire?

      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.

    • Can you send samples?

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

    • Does ClockClock 24 make noise?

      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.

    • Is it difficult to install?

      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.

    • How high should I hang 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.

    • Are you an authorized seller?

      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.

    • I've seen the same work for under $200. What's the story behind these listings?

      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.

    • Are the editions numbered?

      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.

    • Will you ship to locations outside of North America?

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

    • Is ClockClock 24 reliable?

      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.

    • Is there a battery backup?

      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.

    • I noticed in a video that the work isn't perfect.

      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.

    • My purchase is a gift. What can I give in its place?

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