Blockuhr (Cubical Clock)
Blockuhr (Cubical Clock)
A glance at the dial with the red second-hand is enough to guess the origin of this clock. The particularity having an illuminated dial on two sides of the clock eliminates the last doubts. The Blockuhr (Cubical Clock) is a real train station clock that was installed on German platforms for several decades.
Station clocks are manufactured with two simple requirements: good readability even from a distance and maximum resistance to wind and weather, as well as to the odd avian. The result is a design that is reduced to its essentials combined with high quality mechanics.
For us it is important to preserve as much as possible of the existing substance. Movement, dial and hands as well as the aluminum and glass remain original. The control electronics and the dial lighting are modernized. A handwelded steel base makes the Blockuhr a unique clock at the height of a bar table.
In the manufacturing process the train station clock and the steel base are sand blasted and provided with a pure white respectively lightgray coating. The color of the housing and base can also be selected individually by the customer.
