Ugears Vintage alarm clock

Mechanical Model Kit Vintage Alarm Clock, 43 Components, 3D Wooden Puzzle

Ring ring ring! Time to wake up – in the last century! Back then, in the era before mobile phones and digital signals, there was a fantastic device called an alarm clock. At its top, there were two bells struck by a small, movable hammer. You wound the clock with a key, set the time for the alarm, and once the hour hand aligned with the alarm hand, the clock would ring loudly until you turned it off or smashed it against the wall (a no snooze option)! Can you imagine such an amazing, simple yet ingenious mechanism ever existed?

The Ugears Vintage Alarm Clock is a nostalgic and decorative reminder of the mechanical alarm clock on the nightstand in your parents' or grandparents' home. When you turn the large gear on the side, the arrow-shaped hands of the clock move, and the bells ring with the characteristic "rattling" sound of this wooden clock model. While this decorative wooden clock model does not display the exact time, the clock hands are geared together, so a complete turn of the minute hand moves the hour hand forward by one position. The dial features decorative elements like suns, plants, and scrolls, and sits on columns, giving the entire model an attractive architectural structure.

The Vintage Alarm Clock is a complement or counterpart to the Steampunk Clock in the Ugears catalog. Both are designed in an openwork style with decorative carvings and gears, blending Steampunk with a touch of Venetian style. Both models are rated "Easy" for beginners and junior model builders, and both make for great decorations.
