QLOCKTWO, a pioneering and award-winning brand, transcend the ordinary with their exquisite timepieces. The talented duo Marco Biegert and Andreas Funk founded QLOCKTWO in Schwäbisch Gmünd, Germany, with an aim to elevate timekeeping into an art form. Since 2009, they have been crafting exquisite, handmade timekeeping objects that bridge the world of interiors with the art of horology. Their distinctive approach and extraordinary creations have made them a recipient of over 30 international awards including the prestigious Red Dot Design in 2019 and 2024.
Forget traditional dials, QLOCKTWO's innovative design spells out the time in illuminated words on perforated front covers carved with alphabets in diverse languages, transforming a daily necessity into a captivating conversation piece. This unique approach to timekeeping is a breath of fresh air, interpreting a classic concept in contemporary form to adapt to modern spaces. QLOCKTWO is the perfect gift for design enthusiasts who appreciate cutting-edge sophistication. The brand offers a diverse range of astronomically inspired time-display objects within their EARTH and MOON collections.
The EARTH: A Watch With Modern Versatility
The EARTH collection offers a range of sizes to suit any space, from a desk to a grand wall. Available in 13.5cm, 45cm, 90cm, and 180cm dimensions, these statement pieces redefine the concept of a clock. The EARTH's front covers come in a variety of materials and colours, and can even be customised with inscriptions in 12 different languages, allowing you to create a piece that truly reflects your style. The smaller sizes are ideal desk companions, while the larger options serve as stunning wall art, seamlessly blending form and function. The carefully designed clocks feature intricate details and elegant lines, showcasing the brand's commitment to excellence.
The EARTH is more than just a home decoration piece; it’s a modern-day clock that boasts versatile features such as seconds, night touch, illumination, alarm, and flashsetter modes. The EARTH by Biegert and Funk is a masterpiece of artistry and engineering that elevates any space while keeping you effortlessly on time.
The MOON: A Timepiece Beyond Measure
The MOON collection, debuted in 2023, shows time-telling objects featuring a lunar phase display from one cycle to another. This piece exudes opulence as it is covered in 24-carat gold or platinum leaves that resemble the surface of the moon. The unique display of the MOON accurately reflects the various phases of the lunar cycle. This is achieved through the rotation of 14 prisms, each shaped as an equilateral triangle and individually designed with front colour painting, high-gloss finishing, or coating in gold, platinum, or moon gold. As the prisms rotate every 1.05 days, the display seamlessly adapts to the current phase of the moon, accompanied by a gentle sound reminiscent of turning the pages of a book.
A servo motor is responsible for driving the movement of the prisms. The precise rotation cycle of each prism is controlled by an internal perpetual lunar calendar. Each face of a prism can be carefully rotated to reveal a specific view, with the actual display depending on the selected mode. Furthermore, there are two distinct modes available: visual and functional. The visual mode includes regular as well as minimalist settings and the functional mode consists of protection, night, and control settings.
