B&F Qlocktwo Price Drop – NEWSFLASH!

by Jay Garrett on August 21, 2009

qlock price dropWell, I only posted about this funky timepiece yesterday and now the price has been dropped quite considerably.

I’ve also noticed that you can buy different front panels for the Qlocktwo so if you redecorate or just fancy a change you can purchase a Qolor for €95.00 EUR.

Here’s the news item that appeared on the Biegert & Funk website shortly after I posted :)

QLOCKTWO more affordable posted 2009 Aug 20 Due to its huge worldwide success Biegert & Funk decided to make QLOCKTWO more affordable. QLOCKTWO ist still handmade by BIEGERT & FUNK in South Germany. At the moment, please allow 2 weeks of delivery…

Thanks to Mark for pointing out that it now costs €885.00 :)

Read the Time With Biegert & Funk’s Funky Qlocktwo

by Jay Garrett on August 20, 2009

qlock_two_red_clockBiegert & Funk’s Qlocktwo is quite a different clock – the funkiness is in the fact that the time is displayed in a “typographic time format”

The clock face is made from acrylic glass and it has a wooden body and the display comes in English and other European languages as well as a multitude of colours.

The clock should keep accurate time thanks to the DCF-77 time-signal receiver which receives a long-wave radio signal from Frankfurt, Germany so no need for manual setting.

Don’t worry about changing it in Spring and Autumn either as it’ll adjust automatically for summer/winter daylight-savings time.

The LED readout has a light sensor so that the clock will also automatically adjust to ambient light but it does have a manual brightness control as well.

It can be wall mounted but does have a massive acrylic glass holder so you can have it on your desk.

So how much for these German hand made marvels?

Well, prices start at €1,099.00 and can be bought at their online store.

If that’s a bit too steep why not get a pocket-sized one? – thanks to the iPhone version (comes in English and German flavours) that can be grabbed here on iTunes for a more respectable 59p ;)

It has a Parallax Propeller 8-core processor running at 80MHz that can even [...]
