An electromechanical cam clock with a very retro and modern design, perfect fit everywhere

Story

I never thought a clock could be so creative until I came across it.

Rantoge. An electromechanical cam clock with a retro walnut base and mechanical design, the Perfect Interpretation of Mechanical Punk. No matter where it is placed, it can perfectly fit your unique aesthetic!

Rantoge is an electromechanical cam clock that relies on motor rotation to drive the cam to report the time. It is a DIY kit.

The clock design is all-metal, using aluminum alloy, stainless steel, and brass. The clock with a walnut base and all-metal body combines classical and modern design concepts. The unique design is beautiful on any occasion.

During the working of Rantoge, the mechanical sound formed by the gear and cam rotation and the metal digital board flipping makes the time can be heard and seen.

The body of Rantoge adopts black anodized alumina. All the gears are made of brass with strong wear resistance and install all parts together with stainless steel screws that will not rust. All rotating joints are built-in with self-lubricating copper bearings, which makes the clock work very smoothly and can operate normally for a long time without maintenance.

The operation of rantoge is very simple, connect the USB-A interface to the power, the type-c interface to the clock, and the mechanical clock will start running.

If you want to adjust the time, you only need to operate the two buttons on the front of the clock. The left one is the hour-hand adjustment button. Every time you press it, the hour number will jump to the next value. On the right is the minute hand adjustment button, and you can reach your real-time time value by operating the corresponding number of times.

In order to ensure the accuracy of the clock, the built-in chip used by Rantoge can automatically record the time after power failure and compensate for the lost time when the power is turned on next time.

The entire body of Rantoge is composed of aluminum alloy parts, brass gears, powder metallurgy bearings, stainless steel screws, acrylic plates, etc. We provide you with a very detailed installation tutorial video, so you can easily complete all the assembly work in one hour!

Easy to assemble and fun to assemble, the process of installing such a mechanical clock is very stress-free. Installing a Rantoge is also a very fulfilling thing!

We have added acrylic stickers in multiple colors, allowing Rantoge to add more custom styles to choose from. There are six colors provided for you, which are YellowBlackGreenOrangeRedLight Blue. You can choose your favorite color to paste on the clock’s digital display to achieve the color effect you want.

Shipping and tax calculations are based on country and weight, and we will charge through the pledge manager at the end of the campaign.

We are a team dedicated to the production of DIY kits. Recently, we have been very obsessed with steampunk products. In the process of designing and developing a variety of products, we got the inspiration to combine the working principle of motor and pure gear rotation. , forming an electronic cam page-turning clock driven by a motor to rotate gears, so Rantoge came into being. The design of Rantoge refers to many very interesting ideas and designs and is also very interesting in the design and assembly of the entire product. Hope you discover it’s fun after you get it.
