Alarm Clock Vintage Puzzle 3D wood UGEARS

Vintage alarm clock mechanics - UGear

Drrriiiiiiiing! It's time to get up, in the last century! Before the era of mobile phones and digital alarm clocks, there was a fantastic device called an "alarm clock", on which were mounted two bells struck by a swinging hammer. You had to wind the alarm clock, and when the hour hand arrived at the time of the alarm, the bells would ring with all their heart until you turned it off or threw it against the wall (a unique "snooze" option)! Can you believe that such an incredible, simple yet ingenious mechanism could have ever existed?

The Ugears Vintage Alarm Clock is a charming way to step back in time, a decorative souvenir of the mechanical alarm clock that stood on your parents' or grandparents' nightstand. When you move the big gear to the side, the hands of the Alarm Clock rotate and the bells move, giving this wooden alarm clock model a characteristic slamming sound. While this decorative wooden alarm clock doesn't actually tell the time, the hands of the clock work in a way that allows the minute hand to move the hour hand forward one position with each complete rotation. The front of the alarm clock is adorned with design elements such as a sun, plants, frills and sundial, and stands on columns that give the model its attractive architectural structure.

The vintage Alarm Clock is both the complement and companion of the Steampunk Clock in the Ugears catalog. Both feature an openwork style of decorative sculptures and gears, mixing steampunk style with a slight Venetian touch. Both models are rated "Easy" for beginners or junior pattern makers, and both offer great decorative appeal and will harmonize perfectly together on your shelf or table. No glue or special tools are needed to assemble this model of clock to assemble yourself, just detach the pre-cut parts from their composite wood boards and assemble them by pressure, with a little sanding and wax to make the gears work well.

This wooden alarm clock model is not only an attractive decorative piece, it includes dynamic elements of movement and sound, including the careful gearing of the minute and hour hands and the surprising inclusion of alarm noise. 3D puzzles, DIY models, automatons, robots, wooden puzzle boxes and models from STEM Lab Ugears are renowned worldwide for their ingenious mechanical actions and unexpected touches of charm. The vintage alarm clock adds to our collection of easy-to-assemble designs, making it a great gift idea for kids and adults looking for a fun and relatively easy craft project to do at home on a rainy day.
