The QLOCKTWO EARTH 45 (formerly CLASSIC) measures 17.7" x 17.7" and consists of a clock matrix body with adjustable brilliant LED technology and interchangeable Front Cover, that together, tell time with words. The text displays time in 5-minute increments, while 4 perimeter dots light up to signify the 1-4 minutes in-between. Like any work of art, QLOCKTWO slows down time and is a pleasure to observe and contemplate.
STAINLESS STEEL SERIES
All Creator's Editions, metal brushed, and matte powder coated surfaces are laser cut stainless steel Front Covers in an array of finishes. Creator's Editions are each uniquely finished by hand. The metal brushed variants include stainless steel and copper. The stock powder coated colors are: Black Pepper, Red Pepper, White Pepper & Grey Pepper. Custom RAL color matte powder coated Front Covers can be specially ordered. Please contact us for help choosing.
INTERCHANGEABLE FRONT COVERS
You only need to purchase one clock matrix body to use any language or style EARTH 45 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 stainless steel with laser cut letters in a variety of finishes.
WALL OR TABLE DISPLAY
QLOCKTWO EARTH 45 can be displayed on a table top with the included acrylic base (Metamorphite, Gold, Silver/Gold and Platinum finishes should be wall-mounted only) or as a wall clock. When wall-mounted, the EARTH 45's power cord can be displayed as a design element (different colors are available) or hidden by wiring directly into a main power line.

Setting the time
Setting the time is simple with the smartphone FLASHSETTER app or the 3 buttons located on the back of the QLOCKTWO EARTH 45. Time is measured on a 12-hour cycle.
Option 1: clock buttons
Back of clock. If you are facing the FRONT and feeling around the BACK, the order is opposite the above.
- Press [60] button to advance time in 1-hour increments
- Press [5] button to advance time in 5-minute increments
- Press [1] button to add 1-minute increments*
*Adds on 1, 2, 3 or 4 minutes as corner dots. Each time you touch the [1] button, the internal counter for seconds goes to zero. This makes it possible to set the time precisely to the second.
Option 2: smartphone FLASHSETTER app
- Install FLASHSETTER app: Android (Google Play) | iOS (App Store)
- Open the app and press the green "FLASH" button.
- The light sensor is on the top back of the EARTH 45. The strobing light is what changes the time. Position the side of your phone that is flashing facing the light sensor (on Android this is the screen of your phone, on iPhone, the back of your phone).
- The entire clock matrix will light up once the new time is set.

Adjusting display brightness
The display brightness level can be set manually. The factory default is ‘automatic’.
Press [☼] button to set the level of brightness. The setting options will cycle as follows:
- Maximum brightness
- Strong brightness
- Medium brightness
- Low brightness
- Automatically adjusted brightness
(minute dots in the corners light up briefly to signify this setting)
We recommend living with the clock a little to find the right setting for you. QLOCKTWO (like most works of art) should not be displayed in direct sunlight. In the case of a power outage, the brightness setting will reset to automatic.
Changing ‘IT IS’ display options
You may choose to either show the introductory words "IT IS" for full hours and half hours only (the factory default) OR show “IT IS” at all times.
- Press & hold [60] button for approximately 3 seconds to switch the setting.
Large seconds only display mode
The seconds can be set to appear as large numbers on the Front Cover display (only the seconds will appear).
- Press [☼] button for approximately 1 second to enter this mode. To return to the normal time display, press any button.
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 tabletop or shelf. Simply lower the clock vertically into the acrylic base (DO NOT slide the base across the bottom of the Front Cover, i.e., left to right).
- For Acrylic Glass Front Covers, use the side labeled ‘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. Creator's Editions Metamorphite, 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 FedEx Office, 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
On the EARTH 13.5 and 45, the Front Cover is held in place with magnets and can be taken off for cleaning. If you remove the Front Cover, place it on a level, padded clean surface (for example, on top of a soft towel). The EARTH 90 and 180 Front Covers are attached with bolts and should not be removed for cleaning. The Moon objects should not be disassembled.
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 Front Covers.
- Acrylic Glass Front Cover (QOLOR)
Remove slight stains with the microfiber cloth. Remove stubborn stains with a suitable acrylic glass detergent or with a soft microfiber cloth and water containing a very small amount of dish soap.
- Brushed Stainless Steel Front Cover (STAINLESS STEEL)
Remove slight stains with the microfiber cloth (one is 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 buff and remove excess cleaner.
- Powder Coated and DLC (Deep Black) Front Covers
Remove slight stains with a soft microfiber cloth (one is included with delivery). Remove stubborn stains with soft microfiber slightly dampened with water (using as little water as possible); if needed, add a very small amount of dish soap (such as Dawn) to the water before dampening the cloth. - Velvet Textile Covered Front Covers
Use a soft velvet brush to remove dust and to smooth the surface. Brush with the velvet grain. Soiling can be removed with a soft, damp cloth. - Metamorphite, Glintscape and Unfinished Marble (Desert) Front Covers
Carefully dust surfaces with a soft, dry and dust-free cotton cloth. Select a finely woven cloth that will not 'shed' against the rough surface areas. A very soft hair brush may also work (make sure it will not scratch the surface) without applying pressure. - Precious Metal Leaf Front Covers (Gold, Silver, Platinum)
Carefully dust the surface with a soft hair brush without applying pressure. Do not use liquid cleaner, cloth or any rubbing motion as it may start to remove the leaf.
Samples & return policy
Almost all QLOCKTWO clients have a question before purchasing; we want you to contact us with any pre-sale questions. As a general store policy, we do not take returns. The simple reason is many of our larger clocks are very difficult to repack and return without damage, and we do not cater to clients who are not serious buyers. This also ensures our clients are not receiving returned items as 'new'. See our full return policy. Your purchase is insured against shipping damage and protected by a two-year manufacturer's warranty. With years of experience and custom samples, together we can make sure you receive the clock that is best suited for your interior.
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 it on your phone, monitor or even in a retail space. Depending on your choices, we can send a sample and/or scaled print to help you decide. We know it's not always possible, but it's ideal to see art in the installation space to decide (lighting, wall color, surrounding decor, etc. can all influence your selection).
Warranty & repairs
The manufacturer’s warranty is valid for two years from delivery. Only use your QLOCKTWO EARTH 45 with original accessories. Damage resulting from failure to observe the information in the instructions for use outlined in the manual, or from modifying, opening or altering your QLOCKTWO EARTH 45 is not covered by QLOCKTWO's warranty.
Never attempt to repair or dismantle your QLOCKTWO EARTH 45 yourself. Contact us for QLOCKTWO EARTH 45 repairs and replacement parts.
