DESCRIPTION OF THE CLOCK PARTS

Wooden panels

• 3 mm thick panels with a central hole of Ø8 mm for placing the clock mechanism
• The sublimable side of the natural wood panels is lighter and smoother than the reverse
• Rounded corners
• Can also be customised with laser engraving, DTF, screen printing, adhesive vinyl and UV printing

Supports

• Acrylic in different colours with a thickness of 3 mm
• Hole at the top of Ø8 mm for placing the wooden panel and clock mechanism
• Can be customised with laser engraving

Clock mechanism with hands

• Made of plastic. Requires 1 AA battery / 1.5 V (not included). You can purchase it in Related Products
• You can purchase other mechanisms with different clock hand models in Related Products

THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND

• Clock parts must be purchased separately
• The panels and supports may have a paper layer that can be easily removed
• The white side of the MDF wooden panels is covered with a transparent protective film. It should be removed before sublimation
• After sublimation, the panels may lose some flatness. It is recommended to apply weight while cooling or press the reverse side for 5-10 seconds. This will correct any warping

TIPS AND ADVICE

• Create your own collection of children's desk clocks by customising them with your own designs
• Engrave the supports with your brand logo, names, or messages to give them a distinctive touch
• Personalize them with images of historical monuments and typical landscapes to give as a souvenir. Offer them disassembled for easy transport. Prepare branded packaging using the boxes you'll find in the Related Products

CLOCK ASSEMBLY

1. Remove the protective paper from the support, if any
2. Insert the clock mechanism spindle through the support and the previously sublimated panel
3. Place the washer over the spindle until it reaches the base
4. Screw the hex nut onto the spindle and tighten it firmly
5. Place the hour hand at the 12 o'clock position and press it gently
6. Repeat the same process for the minute hand and finally for the second hand
