    QLOCKTWO MOON
    The moon is an integral and vibrant symbol in human culture, magnetically drawing our gaze toward the heavens. It has inspired poems, stories, works of art, and more throughout history and continues to do so in contemporary life. Each culture has its own historical, social, scientific, and spiritual relationship with the moon’s illuminating presence. A lunar-phase art clock, QLOCKTWO MOON reminds those who own and live with it of the moon’s beauty and its cycles of waxing and waning.

    A tangible, artful, interpretation of the moon’s magic, QLOCKTWO MOON presents the time course of a lunar cycle in 28 recurring intervals. Handcrafted to each client’s specifications, this minimalist and arresting wall art is a kinetic reminder of the moon’s elegance, simultaneously indicating the passage of time through the moon’s phases and enhancing living and work locales with its graceful design.

    MOVEMENT
    The mechanical moon phase display accurately renders 28 different states of the moon by using fourteen, axially driven triangular prisms controlled by a single 30-year rated motor that makes a one-quarter turn each day. Since the moon takes just over 29 days to completely change from full moon to full moon, this roughly corresponds to one change of state per day. To do this, the motor-driven triangular prisms are programmed to rotate at moments that are unexpected to us, mystically revealing the updated moon phase.

    MOON VARIANTS
    Each triangular prism shows either a glossy or matte dark phase of the moon or a lit segment. The moon’s shimmer is available in 24k gold, moon gold (23.75 yellow gold & platinum), or platinum (99.9% purity) leaf and can be paired with a Dawn, Midnight, or Nightfall sky. The QLOCKTWO MOON is available in 35" and 70" sizes. Since QLOCKTWO MOON is available in the same sizes as QLOCKTWO EARTH, the two work harmoniously as a diptych, bringing the earth and heavens together in one room.

  • 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.
