    Time On My Side: QLocktwo


    Tell time with words, not numbers

    This is a very interesting clock. Handmade in Germany, the clock displays the time in text in five minute intervals and uses four-minute dots for the other intervals. The front is a polished acrylic glass and the body is made of four layers wood lacquer. Using a DCF-77 time-signal receiver, it gives you to the second accurate time-telling without manual programing. That means it will also automatically adjusts to daylight-savings time. The QLocktwo has a light sensor that automatically adjusts to ambient light but also has manual brightness controls.

    How the clock is displayed is up to the buyer. It comes with wall brackets for mounting as well as a massive acrylic class holder for a free standing version. It is 450 x 450 x 20mm (about 18 x 18 x 0.5 inches) and weighs about 9 lbs. Due to LED technology, it uses less than 2 watts of power.

    The clock comes in a variety of colors and is available on line for about $288.82.
