1 x MDF board with eyelets 
1 x MDF board without eyelets 

Acrylic Components: 

2 x mirror element front (remove the protective film from each one!) 
1 x decorative component, transparent, front (remove the protective film!) 

40 x acrylic numbers and symbols (remove the protective film on both sides!) 

1 x red tool for the removal of the protective film 

Further Components: 

1 x chrome foil, laser-cut, self-adhesive 
1 x felt 

Tips for the Assembly: 

Important notice:

 All acrylic parts were cut with a laser. Due to this production method there is a protective film on 

their surface. It has to be removed before the assembly. The protective film prevents the acrylic from being damaged in 
the production process. Underneath the foil the acrylic is clean.  

The MDF components were also cut with a laser. The method creates an edge whose odor may possibly be perceived as 
unpleasant wood odor. If necessary, the MDF components are to be aired out outdoors, 24 to 36 hours are sufficient. 
Stains on the MDF are normal and when the clock has been assembled they are being covered by the chrome foil and 
the motherboard.  

The protective film needs to be removed carefully from the acrylic numbers. For this purpose the kit contains a red 
acrylic tool. With this tool the protective film can be lifted on the edges for easier removal. Please be very careful. 
Especially the two light pipes of every acrylic number are very fragile and break when there is too much strain. Take 
your time for this step. 
It is also recommendable to wear gloves so the acrylic does not get stained. In case there are fingerprints on the acrylic 
in spite of that, remove them immediately using a new and clean microfiber cloth. 

Please do not use alcohol or 

methylated spirits to clean it. That destroys the acrylic immediately! 

If the use of cleaning detergents is necessary then 

please use only plastic cleaner without alcohol and without solvents.  

Please be very careful with the motherboard while the clock is not assembled yet. Especially the operating panel is 
fragile (e.g. concerning pressure). Please do not press it until the whole assembly of the switch and the encoder is 
completed.  

Throughout the assembly tools are unnecessary. A fitting Torx screwdriver is helpful but should not be used with force. 
The screws should only be tightened with your hands. That is very important for the insertion of the acrylic numbers. 
Only insert them while the screws are a little tightened but still loose. If you tighten them too much the fragile acrylic 
numbers can break.  

Please add the knob for the encoder and the aluminum knob for the push-button carefully. Due to the laser-cutting the 
knob for the encoder has one side where it is easier to add and one where it is a little harder. If you have problems with 
this component try turning it around.
