Facade clocks
We design and manufacture façade clocks using modern technology (intelligent GPS-synchronised movements), tailored to the building's architecture and the client's requirements.
Tailored to Each Building's Architecture
We create façade clocks that complement the architectural features of each building, whether integrating a clock into an existing opening or installing one on a façade without any prior provisions. The clock's dimensions, shape and appearance are determined by the building's characteristics and the client's requirements.
Custom Design and a Wide Range of Materials
We manufacture clock dials from a variety of materials, including enamelled metal, composite materials, acrylic and ceramic elements. Dial graphics, colours, numerals and hands are customised to harmonise with the building's architecture. We offer both classic and contemporary designs, including dial-free solutions with numerals mounted directly on the façade, with or without illumination.
Precision and Reliability
We use professional clock movements from established manufacturers with a long tradition in clockmaking, such as Bodet, which we officially represent in Romania. Modern technology, including GPS synchronization, ensures accurate timekeeping, reliable performance and long-term operation.
Frequently asked questions
What types of facade clocks do you make?
We make facade clocks in classic or contemporary styles, from models with traditional dials to minimalist configurations with hour markers and hands mounted directly on the facade.
Each solution is designed to suit the building's architecture, the available space and the desired appearance.
Can the clocks be adapted to the building's architecture?
Yes. The shape, dimensions, materials, colours, graphics and hands can be customised to integrate with the facade's composition.
We pay attention to proportions and details so that the clock complements the building's character and remains easy to read from a distance.
What materials can the dials be made from?
Depending on the project, we make dials from aluminium, painted or enamelled steel, glass, composite materials, acrylic or ceramic.
The choice of material takes account of the clock's size, exposure to outdoor conditions, lighting solution and intended architectural appearance.
What sizes can facade clocks have?
Dimensions are determined individually according to the building's proportions, the available surface area and the distance from which the time needs to be read.
We make clocks for smaller facades as well as large clocks designed to become prominent features of the building. The movement and mounting system are selected to suit each project's configuration.
Can facade clocks be illuminated at night?
Yes. Depending on their construction and materials, clocks can have backlit dials or external lighting provided by spotlights directed towards the dial.
The solution is chosen to make the time readable at night and highlight the clock in harmony with the building's architectural lighting.
How are facade clocks synchronised?
We use professional movements that can be equipped with GPS synchronisation systems. These provide automatic time adjustment and switching between summer and winter time.
In configurations with automatic hand repositioning, the hands return to the correct time after power is restored, without manual adjustment.
Can you upgrade an existing clock while retaining its original dial and hands?
Yes. We upgrade facade clocks, including models made by other manufacturers, by replacing old or faulty movements with modern drive and synchronisation systems.
Following a technical assessment, we retain the original dial, hands and decorative elements where their condition and compatibility allow. This enables us to improve the clock's operation while respecting its architectural appearance.
