Know before you buy
The Lemnos Cubist clock is designed with a traditional quartz cuckoo mechanism. It does not include volume adjustment or an automatic light-sensor shut-off, so the chime will sound whenever the clock strikes the hour.
The clock is battery-operated, requiring standard batteries to power both the quartz movement and the cuckoo chime. Depending on the battery brand and usage, you can generally expect to replace them every 6 to 12 months.
Despite its unique, modern silhouette, the clock is designed for straightforward wall mounting. It features a standard hanging mechanism on the back that balances the weight of the clock securely against the wall.
Because the clock features an audible cuckoo chime, it is best suited for living areas, kitchens, or hallways. If you prefer complete silence, you may find the hourly chime distracting in a bedroom or focused workspace.
The quartz movement is highly reliable and requires no manual winding or regular maintenance. Simply keep the clock away from extreme humidity or direct heat to ensure the internal components remain in top condition.
