Urban attractions and installations
Installations that turn a park, a roundabout or a square into a landmark: floral clocks up to 8 metres across, bell automation and carillons with up to 60 melodies, pencils. We design, build and install them, with GPS-synchronised movements.
Floral clocks, bell automation and carillons, pencils: installations that give a park, a roundabout or a square its identity. We design, build and install them from our Oradea workshop, with GPS-synchronised movements and automatic summer/winter changeover.
Floral clocks
A floral clock turns a roundabout or a park into a landmark: a flower dial of up to 8 metres in diameter, driven by a movement with DCF or GPS synchronisation. The assembly consists of the foundation, the axle, the hands, the flower dial and the master control unit.
How it works
- Accuracy of ±1 second per million years through GPS synchronisation at atomic-clock precision; the summer–winter time change is automatic.
- The control unit is installed near the clock, in a cabinet or a protective box.
- The dial can be tilted between 0 and 45° for visibility from a distance.
- Anti-vandal axle and full sealing — watering the flowers never affects the movement.
The flower dial itself is planted by the beneficiary or their partners, with the flower species of your choice; seasonal replanting is independent of the clock's operation.
Bell automation
Church bells are driven by linear motors that reproduce the natural motion of a hand-rung bell: the ringing speed and timing match those of manual pulling, while the swing angle is controlled. The linear motors are three-phase induction machines used for bells over 150 kg; a single motor drives bells up to 1,500 kg, and for heavier bells several motors can be coupled together.
- Electrical installation
- Electromagnetic hammer
- Linear motors — LIN 1 (bells up to 500 kg) or LIN 2 (up to 1,500 kg)
- Electrical control panel
- Programming control clock with GPS antenna
Carillon
A carillon comprises between 6 and 60 calibrated bells, built to existing models or to the customer's requirements. The electronic system records up to 60 melodies and plays them automatically on a weekly or annual schedule, while the acoustic system broadcasts them through an amplifier and speakers.

Frequently asked questions
How many melodies can a carillon play, and how is it scheduled?
A carillon has between 6 and 60 calibrated bells. The electronic system records up to 60 melodies, chosen by the customer, and plays them automatically on a weekly or annual schedule; the sound is broadcast through an amplifier and speakers.
Can the carillon be built to our own requirements?
Yes. The bells are built to existing models or to the customer's requirements; we supply and install 14 carillon models, alongside builds made to order. The installation can also include clocks and can accompany concerts.
How large can a floral clock be, and where is it installed?
The flower dial is up to 8 metres in diameter and is installed in parks or on roundabouts. The assembly consists of the foundation, the axle, the hands, the flower dial and the master control unit, installed near the clock in a cabinet or a protective box.
Who plants the flowers, and what about replanting?
The flower dial is planted by the beneficiary or their partners, with the flower species of your choice. Seasonal replanting is independent of the clock's operation: the axle is anti-vandal and fully sealed, and watering the flowers never affects the movement.
How accurate is the floral clock?
The movement is GPS-synchronised at atomic-clock precision — ±1 second per million years — and the summer–winter time change is automatic. The dial can be tilted between 0 and 45° for visibility from a distance.
