Ugears: Mechanical Models - Vintage Alarm Clock

Ugears Mechanical Models - Vintage Alarm Clock

Wakie-wakie! You are back in the previous century and it’s high time to get up! Before mobile phones or digital alarms there was a crazy machine going by the name of ‘alarm clock’. It had two bells on top and an oscillating hammer struck them, thus producing the waking-up effect. The clock was wound with the help of a ratchet key, the hand of the alarm was set for the intended time of waking up, and at the moment when the clock’s hour hand and the alarm hand were in the same position, the abovementioned bells would give you the noise party of your dreams, until the thing was turned it off or thrown out of your window (a single-use snooze trick)! Yes, such an striking, ingenious-yet-simple device really existed!

The Alarm Clock, Ugears new DIY wooden puzzle, is not simply a fun display model, but features sound and dynamic motion elements. This includes the laser-precision gearing of hour and minute hands, as well as the surprising-for-some clattering alarm. 3D models, DIY puzzles, robots, automatons, plywood puzzle boxes and Ugears STEM Lab kits have gained worldwide recognition for their imaginative mechanics and cutely unique extra features. Ugears Vintage Alarm Clock is added to our easy-to-assemble model collection. It is, therefore, a wonderful gift for both children and adults on the lookout for a cool, moderately easy DIY model to assemble at home during a family evening.
