Wall mount requirements
Use mounting template and consult instructions. Though most customers directly wire their EARTH 90 to conceal the cord, it also comes with approximately 157” of cable.
If you lost your mounting template copy, be sure to print it to scale. You may need to find someone with an oversize printer such as Kinkos, Staples, or a UPS Store.
If you moved and left your mounting hardware behind, you can contact us to order a replacement bracket.

Samples & 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 90 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 90 is not covered by QLOCKTWO's warranty.
Never attempt to repair or dismantle your QLOCKTWO EARTH 90 yourself. Contact us for QLOCKTWO EARTH 90 repairs and replacement parts.

Pre-Sale Questions
-
Can QLOCKTWO be wall mounted with a hidden cable?
While all EARTH models can be plugged directly into an outlet, most clients chose to conceal the power cable. The clock may be directly wired to a main line or plugged into a recessed outlet. Please consult the installation guide for each model. MOON is powered by a rechargeable battery and does not require wiring.
-
Can you send front cover samples?
Yes, this is part of our business. If you are not 100% certain about which surface will look best in your home or office, please contact us with questions and for samples. All we require is for you to return our samples; they are very costly to make. A return label is provided.
-
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: either schedule a video call showing us your space, send a photo and we can photoshop different options, request a scaled print to position on your wall.
-
Which QLOCKTWO models battery operated?
Only the MOON editions are operated by a rechargeable battery. Each EARTH model requires direct electrical power, but there is a 24 hour battery reserve should you lose power temporarily. If you have any electrical concerns, please contact us before purchasing.
-
Are you an authorized QLOCKTWO retailer?
Yes. As an authorized QLOCKTWO partner since 2019, with five additional years of experience selling their timepieces, we offer comprehensive expertise. All editions are brand new unless otherwise specified. We provide exceptional support not only before your purchase but throughout the lifetime of your QLOCKTWO—even if you purchased elsewhere.
-
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. The Earth 90 and 180 editions can also be set with an infrared remote. We send out reminders during time change of how to set you clock, and maintain a section on this page with instructions, but you are always welcome to contact us too.
-
What countries can you ship QLOCKTWO to?
Our manufacturer's agreement allows us to sell QLOCKTWO to locations in North and South America and the Caribbean. If it is a limited edition or special realease or commission, we may be able to ship outside of this region. Please contact us. If you are in another country and need assistance, we recommend going to QLOCKTWO's website and chatting with support. You are always welcome to contact us, and we will connect you with support or a regional representative.
-
Will I be able to see the time on a white or light colored 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 or lighter front cover. However, there is naturally even more contrast with a darker front covers.
-
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 since you'll need to connect it to a switch. Like any clock, there is no 'on/off' switch. 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 reasonable circuit replacement program. It is important to us that when QLOCKTWO is installed in a good home, it stays there.
-
How long does the motor on the MOON last?
The motor used is rated to last 30 years with continual use. Considering the motor only makes one quarter turn per day, it should last much 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 particularly elegant with several variants. 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, Glintscape and Precious Metal finishes can not be displayed desktop). Although popular with our clients, less black corpuses are produced than white by the factory, so the price is a little higher. Custom colors are also available.
-
My purchase is a gift and it will not arrive in time. What can we do?
We have solutions depending on the situation, please contact us. We also think it's usually best for the recipient to choose their edition.
-
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". However, 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. An electrician can also mount the cradle and install. We prefer to tell them it's like mounting a tv instead of saying it's an expensive German word clock.
