    • Changing the language setting

      Each language requires a separate Front Cover, however the same clock matrix body can be used for every language (except Arabic). To set your language:

      • Press & simultaneously hold [] + [ 60 ] for 3 seconds to access language menu.
      • The language currently set is shown in capital letters.
      • Press [] repeatedly until the appropriate language version appears.
      • Press [60] to save the new language and exit language menu.
    • All EARTH 45 Front Covers are interchangeable

      You only need to purchase one clock to enjoy multiple looks and languages with different Front Covers! The EARTH 45 clock body is compatible with all EARTH 45 Front Cover variants and languages.*
      *Arabic is the only Front Cover variant that requires its own unique clock model body.

    • 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 and carefully sandwiching between foam core or cardboard cut at least 1-2” larger than the Front Cover’s edges to prevent accidental damage.

    • How to display free-standing

      Your clock can be displayed on a table top or shelf. Simply lower the clock vertically into the acrylic base (DO NOT slide the base on across the bottom of the Front Cover, ie. left to right).

      • For Acrylic Glass Front Covers, use the side labelled ‘acrylic’. The soft padding within the acrylic base slot should be touching the Front Cover.
      • For Stainless Steel Front Covers, use the side labeled ‘steel’. The soft padding within the acrylic base slot should be touching the Front Cover. Platinum, Gold, and Silver models are for wall-mounting ONLY (the acrylic base may damage these covers). If your stainless steel Front Cover came with 2 acrylic feet and instructions, ignore those, and use the solid acrylic base instead.
    • How to display wall-mounted

      Use mounting template and consult instructions. The EARTH 45 comes with an 84” cord. If you need a longer cord, 137” lengths are available.

      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.

    • 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 cables.
      • 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 little 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.
      • Coated Stainless Steel Front Covers
        (BLACK-, WHITE-, RED-, GREY PEPPER, HAZELNUT)
        Remove dirt with a soft cloth and water containing a little dishwasher detergent.
        (GOLD, SILVER & GOLD, PLATINUM, RUST, RAW IRON, VINTAGE COPPER, COPPER)
        Carefully dust the surfaces with a soft, dry, dust-free cotton cloth or with a soft, fine brush without applying any pressure.
    • 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.

  • 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.
